So no one else has a memory, lol?
And on to 1985! My Mum came up trumps again with tickets for the cup Final v Everton. Front row seats this time, on the opposite side from the Royal Box. I borrowed a 35mm camera from a mate and got some great shots of the build up and the game until the camera jammed!
Great build up outside the old ground with the United fans taking on the Toffees' fans in the car park with an impromptu game of football that was brought to a swift end by a mounted police mini charge!! Over-reaction, as there was no hint of bother. They were just having fun! Just in the wrong place as the space they were using was the VIP parking!!
We were right in line with the penalty spot and perfectly positioned for Norman Whiteside's winner after Kevin Moran had been sent off. Jubilation!
Afer we got home, I took the camera to my mate and he promptly opened the back and exposed the film, meaning I'd lost all the photos! Bugger!
