Beautiful but some strange text errors on there.
That was a shitter.Me and 2 mates went down to London on Friday to make a weekend of it. We wanted to do tour of Wembley as soon as we arrived and got train from Euston to Wembley Central. On that journey we were mugged in broad daylight on a fairly busy train by 3 black lads, one of whom stuck a knife in my side to ‘encourage’ me to hand over my wallet, which I did.
He took £100 (which was a lot of money back then) from me but gave me back my wallet, which bizarrely was a result as it still had my ticket in it! Went back to leamington that evening and got a coach back to London on day of final.
Enjoyed the day (although probably still in state of shock) and then went to Cov on the Sunday for the bus parade plus a few beers. Got back to leamington that evening and was violently ill which I guess was triggered by delayed shock.
Funny, I had pretty much blanked all of that out until this thread...
Went with Central coaches from Leamington - coach stopped at the Granada services to add some of the other coach who had broken down and couldn't get a replacement in time (they stood the rest of the way, would never be allowed now!) Saw Dietmar Bruckheimer in there but had no idea who he was, just remember my dad talking about him, probably how I sound now about Dion and Hucks to my daughter. Queued up to get in, stood up behind the goal and just remember everyone hugging people they didn' know. Wish I was a bit older to have taken more in at the time but still some very clear happy memories.
