In true NSC pedantry style, I think you'll find that Judith Chalmers was a host on the ITV holiday show Wish You Were Here whereas the BBC Holiday (insert year) programme would have been fronted by Cliff Michelmore. Maybe I should join the dullard thread🙂
I don’t remember anything about the game itself apart from the score. I did remember the at we watched from near the corner flag as half the away end was the back of another building and blocked the view.
The most memorable thing about that day was getting back to Bolton station, cold and...
Many years ago I was on a packed train back from London and took a seat in the buffet car at a table. The other blokes on the table got out some green baize to start playing cards across my space and another bloke was stood over me to join in.
At this point, I opened my briefcase to get out my...
Did two or three of these up to Liverpool back in the 80's. On one trip we got stuck at Rugby for a while because of a brake fire in one of the back carriages.
I think the last one I went on was to the 4-0 defeat at Anfield in the League Cup in around 1985

I think my next away game would have been the legendary Newcastle game which sealed promotion.
Sat next to Penelope Keith in a cafe in Lewes.
Said hello to Chris Eubank in the Brighton Odeon and also outside the Goldstone before his fight with the Argentinian bloke at the Centre before he became champion.
Colin Jones (Welsh boxer) and his family sat next to my family for several days of a...

I met Michael Winner on a kids roundabout on Bognor seafront.
I also (accidentally) kicked Graeme Sharp the Scotland and Everton forward in the shins while in a shop at Orlando Airport.
A player from my childhood. Lots of people remembering his goals but also not forgetting his role as emergency right back in the 1983 cup final.
Met him at The Witch and also used to see him at Plumpton races.
RIP Gerry
