    Indeed, what a night. LR was absolutely rocking, and I got soaked inside and out after the game.

    On this day, in 2017, Chelsea have won the Premier League.

    Let's leave this here, it isn't news worthy of its own thread.

    This was my first game too. We won 4-0. My dad took me. We were in the Loft and he put me near the barrier on the elevated bit of terrace behind the floodlight nearest the South Africa Road side. Told me to watch the no 10 who was of course Rodney....and I too still have the programme.

    I was wondering when someone would post this, somehow I knew it would be you Soops or Tramore.

    I remember the day well, I'd just left Christopher Wren aged 16 after taking my exams. Did the Wembley Walk from HQ and was exhausted at the end of extra time and 1-0 down and then Stainrod with the throw, Hazell with the flick on and Fenwick with a bullet header into the roof of the net!

    I was 15 and it was a special moment, particularly as the FA Cup was the pinnacle of the year. I remember going up to the local sports field afterwards and rehearsing the move over and over. I was buzzing for hours.

    I was 21 and in the middle of my final exams at Durham University. It was the only time in 3 years I went home during term time....until the following Wednesday. Got there early with my Dad and little brother and found a place up against a barrier. By kick off it was rammed in there, great atmosphere. Spot of bother with some Spurs 'fans' on the way to the tube, the source of my enduring dislike of all things Spurs. But not enough to spoil my biggest day as an R.

    On this day, in 2014, a great cry came from a small bar in Paris...the cry was from a nervous wreck who had just seen victory from the very brink of elimination.

    Happy OBZ day everyone.

    On this day 50 years ago possibly the greatest British/Scottish team achievement when Celtic defeated the 'glamour club' of Europe, Inter Milan, to win the European Cup. What was so special was the team were all from within 30 miles of Glasgow a feat that will never be repeated by any team of 'locals' in the future.

    A programme worth catching on the BBC iPlayer was aired last night, here's a review...

    That was a four nation tournament in France with England, Italy, France and Brazil. England played really well under Hoddle, I recall Scholes and Beckham were just starting out. Probably the last time I was genuinely excited about an England team going places. 2002 they were competent but not really exciting, the less said about he pony served up in the last 16 years the better.
