On a slight tangent I got to spend yesterday evening in Truro with Peter Withe and the Cornwall Lions. Peter was a lovely chap and also bought along a replica of the European Cup for photos etc.
Great stuff. Had a lovely night with him & the London Lions back in 2018.
I just watched the rest of the BT doc.
Sitting hear very moist eyed.
Thanks again to the one that made it accessible to me, the documentary that is. Much appreciated Gerrin.
That makes me think of how my Dad and how he did that for everything, to have had ST for these years, to have been at all the big occasions. The tear gassing of families in Paris yesterday etc, it reminds me of how unexpected that sort of thing is now, and in a way how known a thing it was back then. I remember being terrified getting knocked off sitting on a crash barrier in the Clock End, but beyond that I can't remember us having too many problems. Thank goodness my Dad did a bit of positive risk taking as it'd be seen then and took me along. Life is chaos with little kids etc, but all being well we'll be off to the childhood haunt of Pembrokeshire with my old folks in 5 weeks. I think I need to ensure I get chance for some proper reminiscing with my Dad one evening, maybe watching again.
