I met Lawrie a few years, pretty much one on one, after the book came out, knowing I was meeting him I took my book along just in case, but I mostly wanted to thank him personally for helping me get a ticket to the League Cup final in 1979 and the everlasting memory that day gave me of my now late Dad.

Quite a few programmes from 1978/79 signed by many players, when we queued for a prime position at the Milton Road end - we would take turns to run round to the car park with our programmes for autographs as the players arrived ( typing that reminded me of two girls who queued with us who claimed to be Trevor Hebberd and Austin Hayes sisters 😁). Got a few signed team posters rolled up. A 1979 League Cup Final ticket in our “Show and tell” cabinet alongside my Blue Peter Badge. No doubt a heap of other stuff I’ve forgotten about. I do have Lawrie Macs book Diary of a Season with a nice message to me from him inside, that is yet to be relegated from the bookcase.

“Round the keeper - phew” “breath” “don’t fuck it up SaintWeb will butcher me if I do” “ hold - hold- kick it” ……..”Yay I scored - when’s the World Cup?!”.

4 games into pre season compared to the first for us against a team with 3(?) pre season games under their belt

An Iron, grease proof paper, and patience. Unless you have a corporate clothing company close to you doing bespoke workwear - they might have a big press like they put the names on with in the shop - be off in no time. Few washes and the “dent will drop out”.

Just showed on the Beeb what absolute low life’s Argentina are

Football wins!

Refs pocket must be stuffed full of receipts from shit he’s bought off Argentina
