19 years ago today.....

Keegan put a great team together - and the. Prince was special.

 

Probably the greatest all round ball playing defender I've seen at SJP.

 

Titus Bramble was quite good at playing with his balls - though he did have a tendency to get caught offside.

 

But you said that I was the "greatest all round" person you've ever seen at SJP and that I'm your biggest friend.

 

I was working at a hotel near Nuneaton that day, we did two weddings on most Saturdays and busy through the week with corporate business, Sunday night though was always quiet so after the lunch service we used to shut up shop, we had nobody staying that night so 5 of us put our feet up in the bar and settled in to watch the match, the bar was the only place in the hotel with Sky at that time. About 2 minutes after kick off the owner of the hotel pitched up and decided he wanted to go through the weekly invoices and business with me, sitting in the office hearing the odd shout or two I had no idea what was happening, finally got rid of the boss just in time to run back in and see the replay of Albert chipping Schmiechel, absolute euphoria at the result and totally pissed off that I missed it most because the boss was bored and decided to do his Monday job that afternoon, the only time in 4 years that he ever did that!!!
