When You're Not Young Anymore

Telling people of my first trips to WHL by myself. £10 on the train and £10 to get in at the gate.

I can't remember how much the train was for my first game, but the entrance for a "boy" was 3/6 old money (equivalent of 17.5p). That's a sure sign of being old - still thinking in old money! I was telling someone yesterday that my seat is roughly about £70. I know I used to stand and not truly comparative, but still.

I just wish it were so easy now! They were indeed happy days. I recall being very nervous and excited on my first trip to London by myself, I think i was 17 at the time and remember Lineker playing. This was the season after Gazza moved to Lazio.

Mid thirties you come to the realisation that even if you were as good as Messi or Zidane you would be looking at retirement from football and that big player just a few years older than you like Gerrard and Lampard are now managers.

At 39, I reckon I've still got a sheringham-esque season in me. Couldn't be any worse than big Vinny Janssen or Bobby Soldado, anyway.

Thought i'd try some press ups. Got in position, next thing i knew was waking up 20 minutes later.

Now that’s what I call a power nap

Ally Dick in 1982!!!!!
Apologies Pete just read the whole of your post! We were at the same game then! What made it so memorable was that he was at the time the youngest player in Spurs history (still 16)

Come back and ask the Hood in about 10 years

Dele is one younger than me. The first really cracking player appearing at the club younger than me.

If Llorente and Vorm are both off, the whole squad will then be younger than me.

I think I will feel even weirder when I get to be the same age as the gaffer.

My first season seing players younger than me break through, was 05/06.
Did not really think too much about it, other than, shit what have I done with my life so far ochsulk:

I do remember feeling weird, when I found out I was a year older than Lewandowski - Feel like he should be older.

 

[Bazali]

Not so much younger but I remember feeling slightly bemused when I realised that Brad Friedel was the same age as me!

Did he look like you?
