I was huddled round a radio with all the other lads at my Saturday job at British Bakeries on Wilton Road - not much work done that afternoon but I reckon they’d have heard us at Plough Lane when that first goal went in! All men are equal before fish.

Behind the goal was something else. Yeah, it was absolutely packed behind that goal and the scenes when our goal went in were unforgettable. It was also before the fences came down so it was thankful that no one near the front got crushed in the celebrations.

Week after the game three Aussies came into the shop and were asking who to see for permission to film a documentary about them as they worked for Channel Nine, were based in London, and had been out for a Saturday afternoon walk and came across these thousands of inflatable haddocks. No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Squashed into less than half the ground - the away terrace and part of the stand to the side. Every mode of trasnport was pressed into service that day - I saw a GCT double decker with the '3C North Sea Lane' sign showing and another with 'Pyewipe'. Based on the way the two teams played, you'd have thought Wimbledon were the plucky underdogs pulling off a Cup upset. Through the door there came familiar laughter, I saw your face and heard you call my name. Oh my friend we're older but no wiser, For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
