Feeling Old

[rocker959]

Listening to the 1966 World Cup Final on a little transistor radio whilst camping in the New Forest on the 30th July having become 9 years old in the June . Sister still 2 years from her first Goldstone match and me 3 years since my first . So much water under both my life and Albion's bridges in the ensuing 50 years . Many memories seem like yesterday as does this . But do start to feel old on reflection .

Great picture! I remember AJAX

Cruyff had already been at Ajax for 2 years by 1966.

catching the train with school kids every week day makes me feel like a fossil ..... interesting tho! If only their parents knew

When "90's nights" started becoming a regularity is when I started feeling old.

Since then I've been on a pretty steep decline into "old man yells at cloud" territory.

I told some kids off for playing football near my car the other day.


I swore I would never turn into my dad...

Over the Hillian?

Getting there, having just turned 36 and perceiving that 70 is a matter of some awfully cliched picture book monochrome 'moments' away

Cue sad music.

Nowhere near as bendy as Bruno, but not as bald,
Fortune favour the brave,
Will he ever have a shave?
Sea salted thrifty knave,
Death at the point of the demonic horde,
As he sharpens the blade,
Upon his soul wrenching sword,
To cast me asunder in my wretched grave.

I can no longer touch my toes, but my bollocks can. That's old.

Youngster. I was 18 just two weeks later.

Reaching Elvis' death age made me feel old but on the plus side I was better looking than him and in better shape at 42.

I remember when they were made of paper.....in fact, I remember when they were still trees

A pedant writes - they were made of cotton, which is a shrub rather than a tree.

 

[luppers]

I remember...................dam I've forgotten what i was going to say

snap !mind you I do remember when Brian Clough played for Middlesboro in our first season in the old div 2 and we lost 9-0 away and 6-4 at home and when 10 shilling (50p) were still in notes not coins

I'll only feel old when Pope's start looking young..........
