I went to Wolves for the last (League Winning) match of the 75/76 season in a Hillman Imp. Probably my favourite away day ever.
Just about. We were fortunate that we could go straight along the A41 into Wolverhampton and straight back home again. There were massive hold ups on the M6 coming home.
I got my first endorsement that night. Drove all the way back to Liverpool and got done going through a red traffic light about half a mile from my home . Hadnāt noticed the cop car behind meā¦great night thoughā¦
Just watched the highlights again on youtube that goal from Ray Kennedy.
Well mate, very easy to criticise . Do you have children? Theyāll trump my flights hand over fist in time. If not, you win.
my 8yo has been on 40 flights. heās enjoyed a lot of travel, including Anfield. (see avatar)
Having kids is simplistic? Youāre going to have to explain that one.
Probably caused by broken down Hillman Imps and Hillman Avengers!
as proud as you are cynical. have worked very hard to be able to provide a good life for my family.
SpaceX just burned 10,000,000lbs of propellant in 4mins. I am not worried about my carbon footprint.
Are you worried about the fact that the carbon footprint of SpaceX isnāt even mentioned?
not at all. Or the millions of tons of explosives being dropped in Ukraine. Or the leaking radioactive water from Fukishima which renders my eating ocean seafood caught close to my home in jeopardy for the past 10+years
That is thoroughly depressingā¦
I went in a min-bus hired by teachers from my school. Page Moss Comp for those who are asking.
First car was a Volvo 480ES. I bought it mostly because of the pop up headlights. And then naturally I spent every penny I had on upgrading the stereo. Blaupunkt. Sounded exotic so thatās what I did. Of course I knew nothing!
First car was a Datsun Sunny estate.
Convinced myself that the red light with the oil can was faulty, engine melted and ground to a halt on the M3 hard shoulder.
Got out a hitched a lift to my destination.
Havenāt seen it since.
Compared to planes, trains and automobiles, itās irrelevant.
I think there was more LFC fans at the Wolves game that night than there had ever been at an away game beforeā¦ What a night :0)
My Dad had a Sunny. Brother left it parked outside the house one night. Knock on the door about 7 one Saturday morning. Only me up. Was a gas man. Never forget his line āWas that your Datsun parked outside?ā Heād destroyed it Dad was over the moon!
Our generation learned how to use a jigsaw thanks to the need for bigger speakers.
I remember my horrendous hangover the next morning. I wanted to die.
4th May 1976 - A Night to Remember - LFC Winning the League
Taken from the perspective of a couple of young Wolves fans that were at the game - The stories are slightly tinged with bias against us as Scouserās, but that is alright, itās to be expected. What it does though, gives a taste of what it was like to be a fan of LFC that night :0)
