First time I plucked up the courage to walk into my local and ask for a pint aged 15.

Walked in and recognised the barmaid as someone whose house I walked past every day on my way to school.

She gave me a rised smile and served me anyway.

I can't remember it being that busy compared to how it got in later years.

You're lucky that John Collins hadn't learned how to scuff shots into the ground, off two defenders and in like his chunky successor.

Superb day that. I remember my Dad phoning his Scottish mate after the game to gloat which is a bit out of character for him.

30 years - wow. So Netherlands 4-1 would have been the 18th.
Wasn't there but totally enjoyed it and then a boss Saturday night out to celebrate.
Where did you go pre and post game?
