1982. My first sticker album and a ladybird book to boot that you had to fill in.
Probably the BEST england shirt ever. With Mick Mills AND Steve Foster in the Squad.
A CRIMINALLY OVERLOOKED world cup song.
And the Jocks one by BA Robertson wasnt bad either

It is OBVIOUSLY Doctor Who, Blue Peter or Corrie.

There had better havebeen, that and WINDMILLING.
Oh and it will always be the Palace pier Im afraid. Just like it will be Falmer even with "insert corporate sponsor" community stadium.

Genius!
