with all the doom mongers and dreadlines (that's headlines of dread) going on at the mo' just wanted to think to happier times and particularly ask:
What good things has being a Spurs fan brought into your life?
it doesn't have to be football related, maybe you fell in love with someone on the way to a match, or were given a job you perhaps wouldn't have got if you weren't a Spurs fan :shrug:
I shall start the ball rolling...
They gave me my 2 first experiences of Wembley in only my second season as a regular visitor to the Lane, in 91, where i also learned it was OK to jump on random fat blokes who you have never met (don't try this with ladies though )
nearly all my mates are only friends because they are Spurs fans (we'd hate each other otherwise) and we have to stick together in the Chelsea infested area we live in... also playing in a Spurs only football team (although not fully Spurs every week :roll: )
Spurs gave me the experience of living on the streets (well almost) when we had to camp outside the Lane for 91 Semi-tickets till stupid O'clock. (thank god for the Intra-web)
Gave me my first experience of mingling/talking with 'Celebrities' at the Spurs dinner and dances, where i was also to utter the line "Is Gascoigne going to have a Crap?... He is you know!" with perfect timing as Gazza headed in the direction of, and eventually into the toilet. (well it was funny at the time :shrug: )
They gave me my first experience of a multiple car pile-up on the motorway towards Anfield for the first time, which may not sound great as we missed the match and feared for our lives, but it ended up being one of the funniest days, and no one was seriously hurt (well no one i know...)
Spurs taught me that Gambling pays, with the £100 mansion offer on Spurs V Bolton, which was shortly followed by a £500 NFL offer. which paid for a nice week in Cyprus.
Spurs also taught me that Mansion are the WORST bookies ever, full of complete numpties who just read certain scripts at you! (yes i'll still take their VIP trips to Spurs though :hump
And they also bought me to SC (well you win some...)
so there's a few there to get the ball rolling...
So what good things has being a Spurs fan brought into your life?
