The first time we got to Wembley I had to thumb a lift back to South Yorkshire as the trains from Rochdale had finished for the night. This strangely also involved a pub lock in - my memory tells me in the Old Church, but this may not be correct...

Fast forward to Cardiff and Richie Foran arrived in my hotel bar as I was enjoying my post defeat pint, this was very much a feature of the Roddy Collins era. The most infamous time being when he arrived in the Beehive following a 1-4 home thrashing and threw his boots under the table before the first post game beer had touched my lips...

I travelled to the Southampton match traveling from 600 km north of Winnipeg to Heathrow with day flight from Toronto. After the match, my mate was going to give me a lift to Leeds where I could get the train to Manchester airport where my car was parked up. The M1 was closed at Leicester so we drove across to the A1 only to find that closed, so back across to M1 and Sheffield station. I got home to Carlisle about 2 a.m.

The first time we got to Wembley I was still at University, it was more than quarter of a century ago.

People's lives move on Popo, some of us make our way out into the world and don't live on the same street in the same village for the entirity of our existence.
