as my dad was in the Army. I like to see Sunderland do well, but only when they don't play Leeds.The 73 cup final was a
nightmare, my parents family and friends and my cousins all came round as we where in Sunderland for 3 months before we
moved back to Germany from Singapore. Even though i was only young, it broke my heart. My Dad said don't worry son you
will grow up one day !! I ended up in the Army for 7 years when i left school, came out in 1981 ( the Army that is !! ) when
stationed in Salisbury. Moved to Southampton had 3 great kids, 2 girls and a boy. When my son started to take an interest
in football i took him to a few games, Leeds v Soton.. Leeds v Birmingham..Leeds v Portsmouth. He been a Leeds fan
ever since, made me chuffed to bits. Couldn't go to as many games as i would like to due to my son with his football, and
for 4 yrs i was youth team scout for Bournemouth. I drive a bus now for the elderly and disable which i enjoy, of work at
moment as i broke my elbow and arm at work just before Christmas.

Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
Last time my mate from Winchester came up to Nottingham the 2 of us went out for a bite to eat. He was horrified at me for having gravy with my chips. Blooming soft southerners
