My mum told me a story the other day about when I was younger which I thought i'd share. Back in 1992 I was proper getting in to football. I was playing all the time, I played out on the street outside our house, I played at school and I tried to watch it all the time. I watched Super Sunday, Football Mundial, Monday Night Football, Goals on Sunday, etc.. I was Ian Rush!!! They decided that for my birthday (Aug. 22) they were going to get me a football kit... anyways there was some mis-communication and both parents got me a kit. My Dad got me this... (not the actual kit) please log in to view this image My mum got me one of these.... (Colchester United kit from 1992-1993) please log in to view this image My dad apparently went ballistic and told her to take it back that day. She didn't know why... She thought he was upset because it was col utd (they split up some time later and she never found out why from him... They didn't split because of the Col Utd shirt) It was only when she spoke to me about it at the weekend and I told her the team sponsor may have had something to do with it. Stupid woman
Yep. Mum is a ******! to be fair there was a massive buzz around town for local football at the time. Colchester had just been promoted back to the football league
