when I moved into my current house in 1977 I found an old Division 3 South Town programme vs Southend. Priced 3d.........there was also piles of old newspapers (Nationals), and one of them reported on the England team boarding a plane bound for Russia for a World Cup? qualifier with a picture of all very young Bobby Robson sporting his " lucky waistcoat ". I think it was dated around the mid 1950's......bit spooky given the history he then went on to have with mighty Super Blues! :wink:

I'm with you on that one Marko, I think Liverpool are the most exciting team in the Prem this season and JK is doing a great job as is Antonio Conte at Chelsea.

I've an open offer to Anfield for a Liverpool home game before the end of the season and can't wait to try to get it organised.

Good on ya Liz. I used to have so much Town memorabilia from when I was a kid, loads of old programmes, scrap books and autograph collections all of which have gradually disappeared over the years with different house moves.

How much I now wish I'd kept them.

Possibly a tad optimistic - his contract is until the end of this season! Presumably if he saves them from relegation he'll survive; if not, he's toast!

Still, Hull can enjoy being the new European City of Culture! Great choice, or what? :wink:

Thankfully not many Beirut residents will be reading this forum...... That level of offensiveness is completely uncalled for.
