My brother's 11th birthday.
Massive Cup Semi Final, kicking off at 12pm...
Our church service finished at about 11.30, but would my dad let us leave in time to get home for kick-off?!
Nope - had to wait until everything had been cleared up and put away.
Missed the first two goals.

"Schoolboys own stuff" makes me cringe every time time I hear it.
Doesn't make sense.

My kids have similar opinion to when Woodgate scored the winner against Chelsea.
According to them it's the happiest I've ever been.

My favourite piece of commentary of all time.
It's schoolboys own stuff.
Always preferred Barry Davies to Motty,

He ruined it adding "own".
e.g That is a "School boy error" not "that is a School boys own error".

It was stuff from 'School Boys Own' (http://www.friardale.co.uk/SOL/SOL.htm). A fairytale of sorts.Doesn't make sense

Really?
Surely nobody got that reference? Last issue was 1939!
Makes it a bit more bearable if true

Don't worry fella, so you got it wrong. You know what they say, Schoolboy's own error.

I always remember saying to Mrs Rooster "He ain't gonna beat spunky from there".........then going nuts. Although i was only the semi I always regard that day as the final, yeah we got the cup against forest, but that moment and that day was really what counted.

I think it was actually a mis-reference, in the heat of the moment, to the Boys' Own publications which were popular up until the 60s and which often featured the sort of football hero stories which would later become Roy of the Rovers.

Either way: Gazza and Bazza (Davies) = legends.

25 years crikey!
Remember that as if it was yesterday. The sis' Gooner boyfriend (now my bro in law) stormed out of the room when Linekar made it 2-0 beautiful
Still my favourite Spurs goal.
