Reading v Town 1996. I'm at the 33 second mark in jeans and white trainers running back up the stairs.

I remember being caught on TV cameras one time when we were away at Cambridge standing all forlorn on the terraces
It was winter time in the early 90s and I had a bright red car coat ( Audi colours ) and there was just a sparse scattering on what was quite a tacky an open end at the time ( not a covered stand like it is now )
We always seemed to play them at that time of year at their place ( though I also remember a couple that weren't - a couple of heavy defeats; last day of the 80-81 season and first game of the season under AB in '88 )

| In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions. Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them. GOD |

Apparently the Sky Sports News camera picked me out, post-match, staring into space, alone, while stood in the pontoon, after Town conceded that late goal to Northampton in 05/06 and we were denied automatic promotion.
Never seen it back. I was at uni back then and had a few mates text me to say they'd seen me on TV while they were supping in the student bar.

Many times I have been on camera but never while supporting Town. I worked as a Steward, groundstaff, Reserves Steward, Senior Steward in the Pontoon and as the CCTV operator. At one point I was second in command within the ground with the ability to order the Police around. Oh the memories

I used to be a sales rep in Nottinghamshire.
When there were Test matches at Trent Bridge you could get in for free after about 3 o'clock if you asked the stewards nicely and it helped if you were in a suit and looked well behaved. I would tear round in the morning seeing my customers and make sure I was at the ground for 3ish and almost always got in for a couple of hours or more.
I got in one afternoon but the ground was still busy and so I got a seat right on the boundary. Mike Atherton leaned into one and stroked it beautifully towards me like an arrow.
I started clapping as it made it's way to the boundary before thinking 'bloody hell, I'm still officially at work and this is live on TV!'
As the ball hits the boundary (virtually at my feet) there is a shot of everyone in the stand clapping and appreciating a lovely shot except the bloke closest to the ball who is obscured by/reading the paper and taking no notice of the cricket at all.

Eastleigh away in 2015-16. My son’s mate spotted him on the highlights after we scored. “Who’s that idiot next to you going mad?”

Never for town but made it onto TV during the 2016 euros. On the front row at stade de France with the Iceland fans against Austria and they zoomed in on us after the last minute goal. It wasn’t on British tv but my Icelandic mate found it on YouTube, so god knows which country it was broadcast in.
