The memory is a strange thing

[darren woolley]

I have to look up certain results to find out what the score was as i just can't remember i know i went to the matches but my memory lets me down.

[freakypete]

yes my most vivid and happy memories of villa matches are from the 70s and early 80s,guess its true it was my teen and early 20s time,happy memories mayb its life we feel nostalgic for a time when we felt excited everything was new and fresh.like your very first love you cherish the memories but villa more so.your first holiday abroad with the ladds,magic times

Selective memory, I suggest.

I believe we played in the 2000 cup final and apparently I was there, but I have absolutely no recollection of it. As you say, Jon, selective memory.

Definitely selective memory in that case. You've probably blanked it out as being too traumatic to recollect. I know I have.
