Thank you Tideway, who took at least two coaches, possibly more.

Cruyff, Neeskens, Jan Peters, Rensenbrink etc outclassed England.

Magical, I used to dream about that visit.

December 1969, England 1, Portugal 0. Went with my step-father's works.

The two things I remember most were the smell of hot dogs and the constant little flares all round the ground as people lit up cigarettes.

Other than the Sunday market which I went to a couple of times in the late 70s, the first football match I saw there was England v Spain in 1981. Ended up 1 -2 and I don't remember a thing.

My first trip was also courtesy of Tideway School. England vs Eire, midweek, Lawrenson either played or was in the squad as I wore my Brighton scarf due to the occasion…….I think.
