I don't know how everyone says they were at Gillingham. There were only about 30 of us at each match and I never saw folk going there or back. No-one ever seems to reference the famous comeback against Wimborne Town either.

I remember having a detailed discussion with your lad at your house one day about the intricacies of Lua Lua's attacking play and how he should be deployed as an impact sub. I think he was about 9. Seem to remember a bit of bias on his behalf. Lua Lua could do no wrong.

The original theory I had about wholesome memory forming was 7 years old. I tried it out on a group of friends and every one told me the first FA Cup Final they remembered. All were 7 or very close to 7 at the time, maybe just turned 8. It's not an exact science but will be mostly correct. Of...

What utterly bewilders me is why anyone actually cares. First headline on the BBC. Seriously ?

That's the rule in rugby and it works well. Captains are allowed to talk to the referee and request reasoning. Nigel Owens used to be funny. I remember Chris Robshaw standing over him once and Nigel just wagged the finger 'Christopher !' CR then walked away. A game with so much violence in it...

I didn't. I thought it was next week. It's normally the Sunday after my birthday.

That was my view. Umpire's Call. Maybe we should introduce that. Hawkeye.

Got me snookered there.

Sometimes the lesson just doesn't get learned when things aren't going well. Suddenly players long gone become superstars. Sanchez was a bang average keeper who left under a cloud. It's a bit like when folk keep harping on about the 'old days' and forget all the negatives that came with them.

For those trips it was always the 06.17 for opening time. I'm not sure what that time meant for you at Portslade though. The Doc striding through the station with a copy of WSC, me huffing and puffing at my last minute arrival after the sprint up Trafalgar Street. I think Port Vale would be my...

So you'd swap it for one of our trips to Port Vale ?

He goes to The Queen's Arms these days. When you move through the age brackets you move through the pubs. Most funeral processions start from the Bulldog.

I have to say the act of burning the scarf was quite disgraceful. I think the supporters should be prosecuted and banned. But having heard that it was a half and half scarf, I'd like to take all that back.

I was a Cricketer International devotee. I started reading it at 12. It was ordered in to the newsagents where I did a paper round. I used to get very excited in the days leading up. I did try Wisden, but it never seemed quite so informative. Even as a child, I craved pure content. I was utterly...

I think it may have been the Daily Telegraph who had the original fantasy league. I think I finished 14th one year. I think pitches were covered from the late 70s. Not sure as it was a little before my time. It's astonishing thinking about it. Talking of averages, I still spend a lot of time...

They had a pretty good side generally then. It wasn't just the imports. Tim Curtis, Phil Newport, Steve Rhodes etc

Crikey, I didn't realise he was still alive or so young at the time they were first made. Some of my early bats were DFs. It was always interesting how certain counties favoured certain makes. Worcester was DF, Nottinghamshire GM etc. I remember owning a Magnum. Cracking lump of wood was that.

7th or 8th position is a very good season for us when you consider that there are at least 8 teams we can't compete against budget wise. It means that we have to be the best of the rest to qualify. Last season we got to 6th because Tottenham fouled up, Chelsea were pants and Aston Villa left it...
