I was fortunate enough to start going down villa park in 70/71. It meant I got to follow us through one of the most exciting periods of our recent history. 80/81 was the first season I had a season ticket though, before that my dad used to slip the turnstile operator a coin and lift me over the barrier.

You witnessed our turnaround which took many years. I think we are in a similar place all these years on, we’ll get there but goodness knows when.

I started going as a nine year old in 1979 so my timing was pretty good too.
