Hating reading English at university, fighting with dons about whether Geoffrey Hill's

poetry was any good

Going out with and deeply in love with the girl who is now my wife

Vague ideas of becoming a merchant banker like everyone else but not very keen on it, pretty clueless about the future

Very fit, playing a lot of rugger and boxing

Ignorantly confident that City would always be good and in the top tier and win stuff. It was what we'd been doing for most of my life. No idea of the pain to come
