i was at that game out of pure chance

got home on leave from cyprus and couldn't get a ticket for love nor money as an exile. hitched (lolf) up to norwich just to be near the game really and a car stopped for me and dad, mum and son picked me up and said they were driving up to the city and waiting for sons friend to meet them as was flying over from canada for game.

turned out flight was delayed so they gave me the ticket or i paid face value for it i can't renember.

best game ever, so unexpected and so so brilliant. made the final as well. great days, can remember the night the cup come back to norfolk outside city hall and dennis van wyk dancing on the bar in the murderers.

we should win a cup. come on farke sort it out.
