I was first taken to the Rs in 1955. 5 years old, and don't remember it. Something must have happened, some weird incursion into my DNA and very being, and I have been addicted ever since. I suppose it's like drugs, but worse. [Post edited 30 Apr 17:44]

I can remember a Graham Kennedy and Graham Sharpe from Copland. Can't think of any other Grahams. Yes, originally a Cricklewood man until 1956, then a Wembley man in Brent Way, Monks Park. |

I don't remember my first match, I'm told I was on dad's shoulders in the loft. I was 5. Dad was an aquaintance of Tony Ingham and Brian Bedford. Brian once turned up at dad's club on a Friday night.
"What you doing here Brian? Are you in the stiffs?"
"No, I'm playing tomorrow".
Brian had 6 pints. Different world. |

No, a Man City supporter from Longsight who I was working with. She's long since gone, now lives in Southampton. I eventually came back and resumed schoolteaching.
I'm in Hastings now. |

I rarely post and have never started a match fred, but to celebrate 70 years of supporting the Rs this year I thought I'd do it.
2-0 to the good guys. [Post edited 21 Feb 16:31]

Yep, I always thought that my life was pretty fast, but it was sedate compared to her. Hope that means that I've got a few more years in me. |

Gone at 78. She did well to get to that age. 4 years older than me, so obviously one of my desires as a teenager. |

Cannon balls were stored on deck stacked in a holder made of brass which was known as a "monkey". In very cold weather the brass would contract and the balls would fall off, hence "being cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" |

I saw it on Saturday. Wonderful film, excellent acting and nostalgic for me as a 75 year old as I remember it all. |
