It's been mainly disappointment since then.....

After following the 'Wall for almost 60 years you get used to being disappointed but that day was probably the worst day I remember as a football fan.

As a then 8 year old I can admit to crying after we lost this game.
Never cried at a football match since, but have been extremely angry after a lot of England games

Ive never cried at a footy game and never will, there are far more important things in life. I know that might sound controversial on a footy message board!!
And I wasnt around for both the '66 & '70 World cups.
