 | As a football fan, you must have watched many football matches. Talking about those games, you must have forgotten some matches. However, some matches can't be erased from your memory. Which match impresses you most? For me, the final of 1998 World Cup did impress me most because it was the first time that I had watched. From then on, I gradually became a football fan. I remembered that Brazil was finally defeated by France 3 to 0. During that final, I remembed these names, Zidane and Ronaldo. Also I made a bet with my friends that Brazil would win the champions. But I lost eventually. How many of them do you know?  |

| One game that will always stick in my mind is the 1973 FA Cup match between Leeds Utd & Sunderland which Sunderland won 1-0 |

| Alan, did you input your words with your new laptop? If so, that proves your laptop is very fast. Just kidding! "One game that will always stick in my mind is the 1973 FA Cup match between Leeds Utd & Sunderland which Sunderland won 1-0." I wasn't born yet in 1973. Can you tell me more about that match? |

| Alan, did you input your words with your new laptop? If so, that proves your laptop is very fast. Just kidding! Hi Dreamlife, no I was at work and I had to move the keyboard for the cleaner, doh As for the 1973 cup final I had won a ticket from my home town football club ( Burnham Utd ) who I was goalkeeper at the time. I wanted Sunderland to win because Leeds had already beaten the team I support Bristol Rovers earlier in the competition ( and I had been attacked by 50 or so of Leeds fans and the police tried to arrest me! ) so yes I was very much in favour of Sunderland. The guy who scored the winner was Ian Porterfield ( who died a year or so ago ) and as I was in the Sunderland end I joined in with celebrations, Leeds tried hard to get the equaliser but the goalkeeper Jim Montgomery played out of his skin to keep them out! At the end the manager Bob Stokoe ran on the pitch and started a funny dance, then it was off to the pub for several beers before getting the train back home to Somerset and some more beers, he he Alan |

| "and I had been attacked by 50 or so of Leeds fans and the police tried to arrest me!" Alan, why were you attacked by 50 Leeds fans? Did you have conflicts with them before? As for those players you mentioned, I haven't heard any of them. |

| I was attacked because I made the mistake of going in the wrong part of the ground and I got a right kicking for it, thank god for the liquid pain killers, he he The police tried to arrest me thinking I was drinking underage ( I was 21 at the time ), the police officer had me pinned to the wall, my father then grabbed him by the throat only the intervention of a police inspector and the pub landlord prevented it getting worse, my father was ex-special forces and would have really hurt the police officer and as most of the pub were on my side there would have been a riot!

Hehe "my father was ex-special forces and would have really hurt the police officer." Alan, no wonder you become a security officer. When you were young, you must be a very strong man. I guess that your dad has influenced too much. |

| Alan, no wonder you become a security officer. When you were young, you must be a very strong man. I guess that your dad has influenced too much. I have been doing security work for 21 years now, I don't think my father had any influence upon me doing that. I did follow him into the building trade when I was young, I spent my early working life as a carpenter but the building trade did have it's problems around 1970 so I changed my career and tried a few jobs until I found myself at Westland Helicopters (1973-1987) after that it all went downhill, he he Going back to the kicking I got at Leeds, I have had several fights at football matches ( mostly won ) but that was years ago now I realise how stupid it was now I'm older.

| Thanks for sharing your story, Alan. Going back to the kicking I got at Leeds, I have had several fights at football matches ( mostly won ) but that was years ago now I realise how stupid it was now I'm older. I just watch football matches at home, hehe. Thus, I wouldn't quarrel or fight with anyone. Perhaps, I should experience the atmosphere of the stadium. |

Dreamlife, I wouldn't let it put you off going to experience the atmosphere, here in England there is not so much trouble as in the old days,it is much better than watching it on TV. Alan |
