Opening comments....
Strange how my affiliation with football has changed over the decades.
As a nipper...below 10yo, my Dad took me to watch every Bradford Park Avenue home game.
Later, at skool, and until my late 20s, I had season tickets for LeedsUtd and Huddersfield Town.
Marriage and a different career came along...retail, 6 days a week, so a very different change of priorities...a substantial business loan/s and mortgage meant no free Saturday afternoons for 20 years, by which time I’d lost all interest in football. Strange that. It just crept up on me.
I know the name of the England manager, but truly & honestly, I can’t name one England player. The only World Cup player I can name is Gareth Bale, and he plays for Wales. How odd is that.
Even sadder I don’t give a stuff whether England win or lose. Probably a mix of overpaid half wits and alleged corruption with FIFA over the years.
