What a great story and what a memory. I can't recall much of my year (1969) with Newbridge FC.

Keep them coming Damian.

Another correction, I was not 40. I got.married at 35 in 1991. My darling wife would not have put up with the crap I used to get up to in the Feltham years. Paul also had a 'dampening' on me. At our first meeting he told me that I needed to shape up.

Loved your bit about TGS as I was a boarder in the Dent era.

Hey Hack. Great to hear from you. My apologies for the inaccuracies. The mind fills in gaps in memories and the storyteller takes over. Despite the errors of recollection, I hope the affection I have for you filtered through.

I didn't mind being called eccentric but I didn't live with my mum. She lived in Muckadilla. I lived with my Kelpie Yousa Dog. Hack.
