How does your 'football memory' work?

Talking of pre-season friendly memories, who remembers Galatasary at ML and the 'kicking my own goalkeeper in the head incident'? Ouch!

I remember a pre-season friendly in July or early August against fairly big name foreign opposition that was abandoned at half time due to a waterlogged pitch! Can't remember the exact game, but we had endured a long dry spell followed by a biblical thunderstorm which meant the water didn't drain away. At least we hadn't travelled to Dover twice!

Wasn't it one of the big Greek clubs? AEK maybe?

My god that was 10 years ago!! Now I feel old, I thought it was much more recent.

At one time I could remember the score in virtually every game, but a combination of getting older and the number of games attended makes it more difficult. That said, there are often things that are not related to the football that stand out to make it memorable. For example, away at Brentford in the early 2000s, team warming up in front of us about 30 mind before kick off. An older bloke with a big beard arrived and stood next to us about two thirds towards the back of the stand and carefully poured a coffee from his flask. Sean Farrell smashed a shot that sailed towards us, hit the bloke full on, exploding coffee everywhere. The poor bloke was covered but furious. If Farrell had been in reach, I swear the bloke would have throttled him. In fairness, he came over and apologised by which time the bloke had calmed down and seen the funny side. No idea what the score was, but presume we lost!
