I was in the SAR paddock with my teenage nipper, roughly in line with the penalty spot - there was, as has been said, a moment's breathtaking silence as we realised what we had seen, from what seemed initially an unlikely outcome. When the resultant delirium settled, I said to Hants junior that we had just witnessed something very special.
I do my own repairs whenever I can, and although I'm no expert, I do have time, being retired. Oven element, washing machine pumps & switches, taps & shower cartridges, Sebo vacuum cleaner and Karcher pressure washer all fixed in the last year or two. E-spares and associated YouTube instructions are very useful! Also just had a kitchen makeover done by a really good company, making use of existing features, carcases etc where possible to create what looks and feels like a new kitchen.
Agreed, and the same aforesaid Paterson managed to stop play late on with an alleged injury, (cramp?) before making a miraculous recovery to score after a strong run. I too wondered to my friend in SAR how pint-sized Chair managed to elbow that big ugly grey-haired cheat?
Yes, I was there as well. I also went to Spurs to see Rodney play for Man City and I believe that Denis Law was in that side? An outstanding talent. RIP Denis.
Wettest I seem to remember was in 1967 v Millwall. It bucketed down and my mate and I took pity on the two sisters from East Acton in front of us on the SAR open terraces and sheltered them under our coats. It got very cosy and we ended up taking them home and out on a trip to the zoo the next day. Epilogue: A fun day out but my mate didn't seem keen to further the relationships, so that was it.
I reckon I had my Christmas present on Saturday! That's how Saturdays should be at LR - 3pm KO, atmosphere from a good crowd, pendulum swinging with near misses, hitting crossbar, team playing with passion, especially after what threatened to be a major setback (get well soon Steve) and a joyful 89th minute winner. A bit like long foreplay with an orgasmic conclusion and Hi Ho Silver Lining to send us all home very happy. Happy Christmas to all of you.
