Well, there's a turnup for the books, Englands demise. Though not a footy fanatic I do like a good game so had a reminder as to the reason I fell out of love with the sport, disappointment, with a capital D.
Brought up in sunny seaham by the sea I used to look forward to heading to Roker Park in my teens for the usual Saturday trouncing of SAFC. My fifteenth year on this god forsaken planet brought about several disappointments in the Sunderland stadium, usually 1 - 0 scores favouring the away team, finally we played Blackburn Rovers, who at the time were just below Sunderland at the bottom of the division, (no fancy premier leagues then) and what happened.

I stormed the pitch, to meet up with my mates on the centre spot,skinhead, big red DM boots, levi's cats died and check shirt we waved to the MOTD cameras. Me, I was waving goodbye to footy and have attended only two events since, one when they brought home the FA cup in 73 and later while in London I attended the worst FA cup final in history, Liverpool / Wimbledon.
Skinhead days over I grew my hair long, dropped out, of everything, and went to sea.
Footy, I'll leave to the brain dead.
