I remember drinking Tuborg Gold in the pub at lunchtime when in sixth form, so 1978.

Back then anything that wasn’t Skol or Carling Black Label was considered exotic and the height of sophistication.

But you'd get called a poof for drinking it? Halcyon days...

Draft Lowenbrau is the exotic one I remember from those days. Used to be next to the Double Diamond tap.

I had a dream that we played in Israel.

Were all the Villa fans waving anti-Apartheid  flags?

Was that the one that Lawrie McMenemy used to advertise?

Lawrie McMenemy, he was unavoidable in football TV coverage for decades.

I assumed he'd have gone toes up years ago, but apparently still around at 86.

West Ham won it, they step up to the Europa League rather than the Conference?

Win the Europa next season and they'll be in the CL.
