Cracking pic eamonn - how i wish we could get our hands on the fa cup again - I got to hold it once with a security guard lurking nearby - back in 1987 when it was on display for a day at the coventry transport museum.
Had to pay well over the odds for a photo holding it though :(

Yeah, there was strictly no touching the silverware above, either. I went on the Chelsea tour (under duress) earlier this year and I think they were charging £15 for a photo with the Champions League trophy and I don't think you were allowed to touch it.

It was a great game to bring a new fan into the fold. Obviously we won the match but beforehand, alongside the trophies, they had lots of kids activities in the Academy hall and those big photo-boards where you stick your head in and get a pic alongside your heroes - the '81 team etc.

I think I've previously posted photos of yourself, Ger and I at the Eamonn Deacy testimonial in Galway last year.

I must have missed those Eamonn.  I know I put some up.  Sad as it was, it was an enjoyable day and night.

We were allowed to put both hands on the fa cup handles but not pick it up - still worth it though as its not often you get the chance to get your hands on the fa cup.

Another go that I hope works.  If it does it's down to the generosity of PeterWithesShin who did it for me after I took up his kind offer to help the aged!

The How To... thread in OT might be useful.

I followed it Lee but, still managed to make a bollocks of it.  Sadly it seems I'm one of those people that need a practical demonstration.

  You will understand exactly how difficult that has been for me to admit on a public forum.  I'll keep trying though.

Nice pic Dave - carrying a bit of timber, I see (Who's the fella in the Villa shirt next to you?!) ;)















no offence intended.
