And then, yeah, just that, really.

That was where kind of the passion come from.

Yeah.

The moment... So the first ever game I went to is a bit of a folklore game because it was in 85 and it was that Jan Molby goal.

Right.

The greatest goal that anyone ever saw for years.

And it was 20 years later or something, someone found the footage of it.

Yeah.

so it was that game but if i'm honest i don't really remember it i don't remember it being like a massive gold you know i mean i remember it being good but i think it's been lost in time really in the sense of i don't whenever when the video come out everyone was like oh yeah it was all right i don't think it was ever as good as any but that was my first ever game going to watch but then i remember really getting the bug it was probably

Eight, nine months later, because I'm pretty certain it was the same season, was the Derby, the Cup Final, the 86 Cup Final.

I would have been eight.

It was the first time I remember really watching it, really kind of being like, oh, this is what watching football is about, not just playing it.

And we lived, as I said, in Woodall Road, the house.

We lived next to a family of Blues, so we had like an entry between us.

and they had all their blue and white and my mum had done all those red and white I vividly remember that and then the other one that I vividly remember is on the day of the cup final or like the men going I didn't get to go to that one I went to the 89 one but didn't get to go to the 86 one and I remember just like being I don't know if I was crying but I remember being absolutely fuming do you know what I mean and then as soon as the kind of the coaches or the cars had left or the fellas had woke up

to the main street just going back in then and sitting and watching um the build-up like grandstand and you know like they used to because there wasn't as much access to footy then as there is now like seeing the players behind the scenes or seeing them at training and stuff was like a rarity so i kind of remember from 10 o'clock in the morning just watching the build-up to the final all day

Yeah, it's really sad, like, and I'm, you know, I always think I want to champion it, but the reality is, I think like all of us, tertiary, as you say, it's probably the third thing you'd want to win and,

like i remember um last year my lad my lad plays and and what have you and he'd had a cup final on the day of the fa cup final and um he won it like and we all went back to the pub like a pub sponsors us and we went back and we were it was a lovely day i remember it being a bit like it has been today here but

didn't even watch it so the fa cup final was in inside on inside the pub and we were all like in the beer garden we'd put like a flag off for his team and that and hardly anyone went in yeah yeah and it like we were there for the whole duration of the fa cup final it was city palace on it do you know what i was about to say i can't i couldn't even tell you who won it and now that you've said it i know exactly what happened but just in that moment you were speaking about that i was trying to wrap my brains to think who was it that played in it

and i remember like being in the beer garden walking in to get like a pint and looking and going oh they have a cup of finals on like 10 minutes in but then just getting the rounding and going back out yeah yeah and then i i've the only thing i remember of the whole like day or that other than celebrating our lads win was seeing that they were beating them and i went back and went our palace should be in city there and everyone was like yeah but no one like moved in to watch it at any point it was just and
