I think that might have been for Sheffield Utd actually…..

World cup winner Norman Hunter

I had a urine next to John Wark in the bogs at Blundell Park. He was always a bit of a legend as far as I was concerned, and not just because of that.

I remember seeing Norman Lamont getting pushed around the Findus car park by a load of Barnsley fans on a New Year’s Day game years ago , I can’t ever remember seeing him since at a game

A very good biography. What is without question is that Crosland met Kissinger at RAF Waddington. Crosland had an engagement which he wouldn't put off so that he and Kissinger could meet in London. That engagement was Town's match with Gillingham. The Civil Service (Foreign Office) were furious because it meant getting up at 4 a.m. to get to Lincoln.
According to Susan Crosland Kissinger was on his way to Africa (Rhodesia).

A contemporary press account indicates that Kissinger attending BP is an urban myth:

Sunday Telegraph, 25/4/1976
Crosland, Kissinger Eat in the Mess

Even by the standards of modern jet-age diplomacy it was an extraordinary way of having breakfast.

Due to Mr. Anthony Crosland's "crucial constituency engagements in Grimsby" the new Foreign Secretary had bacon and eggs with more than 100 assorted diplomats, secret servicemen, international journalists and Dr. Henry Kissinger at an R.A.F. Officers Mess in the heart of rural Lincolnshire.

To attend this "working breakfast," Dr. Kissinger had to rise from his bed at Claridge's after about five hours sleep, drive to Heathrow and fly more than 100 miles up to RAF Waddington in his American Government 707.

Dragged along with him were Mrs. Anne Armstrong, the American Ambassador, a bevy of State Department diplomats. the American Press Corps and enough armed bodyguards to stop a small revolution. Within 2 1/2 hours. Dr. Kissinger and his entourage were airborne again, winging their way to Nairobi at the start of a gruelling two-week tour of seven African capitals aimed at averting a full scale war in Rhodesia.

And what were these " crucial " engagements ot Mr. Crosland? On Friday night he attended a committee meeting of Grimsby Constituency Labour party and presented some trophies at a leisure conference held at Cleethorpes by the Humberside County Council.

Then, yesterday, after waving Dr. Kissinger goodbye, he held a routine constituents' surgery and went on to watch Grimsby Town play Gillingham in a battle against relegation to the Fourth Division.
