I was 9 years old and remember being in the YEB club (now a lidl) and my mum saying if we get to Wembley again I can go. So I managed to get to the 2nd game. I can't remember much, just the singing afterwards and standing on the chair taking it all in.

The YEB club! That brings back a few memories. Monday nights after snooker we often had a lock-in there and left at stupid o'clock in the morning. Taught me one thing though that it's not always a good idea to play cards for money after a few beers. (Not always though!)

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY
I’d just finished uni and was working at bootlegger in meggies but had already told them I had plans for the Bournemouth game. They said I couldn’t have the Northampton game off and told me to not even bother phoning in sick! So I didn’t!

I’d seen England play at Wembley a fair few times prior to the Bournemouth game, but nothing will ever beat how proud I was of seeing town there the first time. I was with my best mates, the same ones that I’d been with watching town in front of 3500-4000 fans, and town were now playing at the home of football. I get emotional thinking about those 6 weeks now


Similiar sort of thoughts to me the period between the euphoria of Euro 96 and THAT season were my most enjoyable watching Town and football in general , the country just seemed a happy place and life was good ;  at the time you take times /things like that for granted , but they really were once in a lifetime memories .

Still watch that Northampton game back sometimes , just to see how superior we were to them and how King Kev sat big Woodman down .

A random thought occurred to me in the car earlier. The day we beat Bournemouth at Wembley, Alan Buckley was 2 years younger (46) than Paul Hurst (48 ) is now. Technically Buckley would turn 47 the next day, but there’s still about 18 months in it.

Maybe it’s just me, or a quirk of the fact I was only really a kid during AB’s first two stints, but in my mind’s eye he seems much older, then, than our Paul does now.

Apologies if reading that has wasted 15 seconds of your time, I just found it mildly interesting.

I was talking about this general point the other day and came to the conclusion that people just looked older back then!

Seeing Town make that walk from the old Wembley dressing rooms and tunnel across the pitch like teams used to do apart from our kids and grand kids being born rates as one of the best moments in my life. I’d seen it done by “big” clubs on the TV loads of times but never thought I’d see it done again.

Remember getting there really early and driving into the car park it looked like John Kirk was directing the Town traffic into parking spaces.

Lucky enough to see it again a few weeks later, though it was the play offs which is always torture.

Michael Boulding is 47 and looks younger than some of our current players.
