Leon I'm from Ashfield Gardens, my family were from Ashfield Cottages. When they pulled down Scottie we got moved to Utting Ave and I remember great Liverpool players going to "WORK" on the 17D bus, even had a swing from Albert Stubbins once.
And YES it does matter The traditions of this side were built on the working man passing things down. I never saw it but I know every kick leading to the great Stubbins diving header, I know about Liddle breaking the goalies wrists, I've still got me dad's mac from the Arsenal cup final in 1950 with the red dye from the rosette down the front, I was at Wembley for our first against Leeds,
I was in Rome and I was still there in Sofia this year. This club is more than a hobby with me and my sons, who have both been to the Academy, it is more than a religion. I'm 54 and a performance (not necessarily a result) can still ruin my week. When I see the parasites running this club now I ****** cringe .
If your dad wasn't a red what was he?
