I probably should.

But, yeah, a great trip.

Like, there's a bunch of guys from our club, merged with another club, 50, all ages.

Like, I mean, there was probably teenagers up to 70-year-olds.

Like, that's it.

Just all fans together.

For me, for me, Rick, and I know this is a UK podcast, but before we went, I was delighted that England hadn't qualified because we had experienced, we had England in the group in Euro 88 and Italian 90.

Mm-hmm.

And you were always wary of your hooliganism.

I'm sorry, but that's the way it was.

And as we know, Margaret Thatcher threatened to pull England out in 1990 if they misbehaved.

So the fact that England weren't going to be in a bar around the corner for me, like I was 27, 28 at the time in America.

So you wanted to go and enjoy the football and enjoy your drinks and mingle with the other countries without having this concern.

Slight potential concern.

Yeah, it was.

And we saw them, right, where we were based in Cologne in Germany in 88.

We got called up.

So that was in your mind.

So for us, it was just, for me, it was great.

Again, no offence that England weren't there because there was no fans to cause trouble there.
