Our one and only really high achievement in over 50 years makes me shudder. But how many football fans never live through a day so memorable and don't have those wonderful memories. I'm grateful for small mercies.
I was chatting to my dad about this last night. He went down in a car with 2 mates and stayed at a friend's house near Crystal Palace. Scarfs everywhere on the way down. Went out the night before in Streatham for a few drinks. Went to the game and went back to same pub on the night. Said he didn't have to buy a drink when they realised they were Sunderland as everyone hated Leeds.
