I recall a load of Villa fans being chased by a dog out of an off licence, that they'd "relieved" of several tray of cans. Also an old lady getting hit with a football, when a game was going on in the middle of Swindon. Few sneaky cans off my Dad's mates when he wasn’t looking. All great fun for a young lad on a day out.

I remember the terrible crush trying to get in at the start and the waiting on other results at the end. I don't remember anything about the game and I don't actually recall being crushed during the match. I also remember my mate repeatedly playing Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac all the way home in the car. It still makes me smile whenever I hear it.

I distinctly remember listening to Alexander O'Neal's Hearsay album on my walkman on the way back.

Smooth.

I love that album.

Even the talky bits between the songs.
