I was 5, so not up to much.

Fuck right off. You're my age in my head. 😡

I was auditing an offshoot of Barings Bank in Dublin after its Leeson induced collapse. Had been there for 6 months so knew the staff well which included plenty of plastic Reds who scoffed as I mentioned I was heading over for the game. Needless to say I was feeling quite smug when I walked into the office on the Monday morning.

I was 41. And I thought I was old then....

I was fourteen, and we'd just arrived at Sandy Bay Holiday Park in Ashington for a fortnight's holiday. I listened to the match on Radio Five and then went straight out to play football in my Villa top. I remember there was a chippy on site and they had a Newcastle game on the radio as we went in; being utterly obsessed with football I asked the bloke behind the counter who was winning and he muttered, "one-nil, Ferdinand" like somebody was going to shoot his dog if Newcastle won the league.

I was 22, had started the job I am still at now 2 years earlier.  This season was the year I got my season ticket still have that seat now.  I loved that season it's still my favourite season all rounded off with a cup win.

I was 23, and had moved up to Wigan to live with my girlfriend who I’d met at university the year before. She fucked off back to Cumbria after a year, but I stayed and met my now wife. Since then I’ve done 10 years in Greater Manchester, 12 on the IOM and 5 in the East Midlands.

For most of that time you lot have been magnificent bastards. Cheers all.

Save your wrath for Monty. I believe in August 1995 he would've been... a sperm.

Getting very pissed at my brothers wedding in the Dolphin Hotel, County Mayo.

Was 26 in Sydney listening to the game on Five Live on my short wave radio - jumping around my room at 3 in the morning. 

[Toronto Villa]

I was 23 and just arriving in the US to start my life in this part of the world. Internet wasn’t up to much back then and getting highlights of games practically impossible so 95-98 for me is a bit murky Villa-wise. Turning 50 soon, so this has been an incredibly frustrating and depressing given the variety of ways we’ve lost to them. I hope we never have to go through this again against any team.

Two months into living into Italy, but we were back here, on holiday in the Highlands, on account of Italy closing down for August.

Just say the word and the little twerp is gone.

[Goldenballs]

I was 8, so probably playing with cars or building a den in the garden, great times.

Then you get older and have to pretend to be a grown up.
