When Saturday Comes.

When Saturday Comes.

Not so much just Saturday now, but when I was a kid it meant playing for the school team in the morning and then dashing home for a quick lunch and then going to the game with a bunch of school mates.

The one that lived furthest away would call for the one that lived nearest to to him and then they'd call on the next nearest and so on and then we'd all make our way to the game.

No ST's in those day's, just pay at the turnstiles and get the best spot available. Good old days, the football might not have been up to the standard of today but it was just as enjoyable and exciting. *As Obi will testify to.*

I didn't get to away games in those days, something I look forward to now, so it was just one game a fortnight. Don't know how I'd cope with that now.

 

Where you eating Hovis bread on the way AB?

My dad always tells of having to walk 7 miles each way, in the freezing wind, rain and even snow, just to play football when he was a lad.

 

I nearly added that when I got home my Ma would make me some sandwiches with Real Butter.

Honest.

 

That's nothing.

Bread hadn't been invented when I was a lad. I used to get up at 4.00am to milk the bull, clean out the dinosaur **** from the stable, deliver 200 stone tablets ( proper paper round ), give Raquel Welch a quick seeing too, wash out the sheep's bladder( still use it today as I don't trust modern condoms and she knew how virile I was ).

I'd then pull on me Albert Stubbins top, get the number 5 bus from Ponteland, have a few pots of ale and a bag of Charlie Hurley scratchings and then go to the match.

Them were the days.

 

Of course we had it tough.........

 

Now I know you're lying! There were never buses when you were a lad!

 

Which division of the Spanish league are they in?

 

Would have thought you'd want to spend more time with Raquel than just a quick seeing to.

Could really use an Albert Stubbins these days. Probably the best goals for games player we've ever had.
