Think I was there? McGinley the last ever scorer?
I was there. I spent many a happy year at Burnden and now get regularly to the Macron / Reebok.
I still have the programme for the last match at Burnden.

As Ross Noble once remarked, if the Pope doesn't want to be knocked down he shouldn't dress up as a skittle...Did I tell you about the time I ran over the Pope? . . . .
My ex GF was a Polis at the European cup final 2002 at Hampden Park, Glasgow. Real Madrid v Bayer Leverkusen.

Part of her remit was to hang around the players entrance when the team buses arrived. She had bought a programme for her son, and when she saw some players getting off a bus, she asked one at random to sign the programme - not having the faintest idea who the player was.
Turned out to be the great Zinedine Zidane, who went on to score THAT wonder goal in the match:

I had a few when my ex - wife worked for sky. The two I remember most were;
1. We attended the premier of mission Impossible with Bob Friend (Sky News Anchorman) who had a bit part in the film. He grew impatient at the traffic near Leicester Square and jumped out of the taxi to walk the last bit. As we arrived, Bob almost knocked over this short guy in his haste to find the Sky cameras. I was just behind him and found myself faced with Tom Cruise. I shook his hand and introduced him to my wife. She thought it was odd that I knew anyone there.
2. We attended a lunch at the Four Seasons in Park Lane in honour of Frank Bruno at the end of his Victory Bruno parade following his world heavyweight title win in 1985. We sat next to Harry Carpenter and his wife and when Frank came over to say hello to Harry he kept greeting me in French saying bonjour, bonjour repeatedly. Turned out he thought I was Harry's son who lived and worked in France (for Hennesy IIRC). Anyway, the following day I was on page 4 of the Sun in the the picture of Frank and Harry shaking hands. My wife wasn't so happy as they only caught her shoulder in the picture. Oh and I was at the fight too a week or 2 earlier
A few bits:
- On The Weakest Link in 1988 - I was bored after my A-levels. Came about 6th.
Marmion you are just bad but funny
eh?
Weakest link ran from 2000 to 2012.
I don't want to Google it, but was it Swindon? 2-1?
I think I ended up in the Norpig end because of the sell out crowd for only the second time I was ever in there.
