I was in the middle of the English Channel on the ferry on the way back from Dieppe to Newhaven.They gave out the result over the loudspeaker and a loud cheer went up.
I was at uni in Bradford that day and having been to all the northern away games that season, I should have been there.
But ... I had a hot date that night with a woman I'd been interested for ages so l opted not to go: 30 years later, it was still one of the worst decisions of my life.
I went mad that afternoon when they won and went off to meet the woman of my dreams.... and she didn't show up.
A harsh way to learn the lesson that you should never put football before women but boy, did I learn it.
