When you are posted abroad its normally block leave for say three or four weeks at a time,Paul Fairclough my boss let me go piecemeal all over europe and back home to Scotland.Due to him i was home for the League Cup final at Dens(Provie),Monte Carlo,Borrusia Monchengladbach and many other games.
Yep - know the feeling too well. Deployed on HMS Fearless for 8 months to a Coronavirus free Far East For 8 months in January 97. Last game I saw before leaving was the New Years Day 4-0 scudding of the sheep at Tannadice. Cue one of the best runs in the history of the Club under Wee Tommy and the Scandinavians. And I missed the f@@king lot.
