A mate of mine is an avid Hammers supporter and his company own 3 seats in an Upton Park hospitality box. He couldn't make the game and knowing I'm a Seagull, he gave me his seat. Very smart set-up indeed (they convert the boxes into hotel rooms during the week...clever eh?)
Anyway, everyone was very polite and welcoming. After a few glasses of wine, I started giving it the big 'un to who ever would listen. "Watch out for Vicente...he'll murder you. Greer and El Ab are giants among men, then we release the snarling dogs of Noone, Lua Lua, Buckley, CMS etc"
Being on my own, I just felt I needed represent all Sussex and warn them of their impending doom at the hands of the Green'n'blacks. Then the match started....the rest is history. I spent most of the hour and a half on my arse whilst all around were jumping about, an ecstatic sea of cheering, laughing, whooping ....ad nauseam.
I should have slunk away but I stayed around after the debacle and took my punishment. And boy oh boy those Eastenders know how to dig in the knife and give it a twist. Probably... no definitely, the worse day of my life...bar none.
