Getting old

Phwooooar you'll have seen some ***** over the years mate!
I've seen some rubbish and seen some wonderful stuff too

The man who always stands out for me is Cloughy. The younger supporters missed something special there. I always explain it as "I used to go on a Saturday afternoon to see how many he was going to score, not if he was going to score"

Just think about that

40 goals a season several seasons in a row .................. that's special
 
Yer all bairns !!

My first Boro game at Ayresome Park was in 1953 and Mannion was playing
Some start that Rish. It was Mannion’s final season with us and we were relegated, taking us 20 years and Big Jack to rescue us.
I saw nearly all Clough’s goals and just imagine if he’d got the ball off Bill Harris and taken the penalties too.
 
I've just been to the soft play with my granddaughter and discovered I am now frightened of slides.Its very embarrassing to have a 4 year old shouting come on grandad its not that high when you are sat at the top of a kids slide.
 
63 and I'm trying to fight it. Off to The Empire tonight, getting down with the kids.

Not the night club part later tonight. 7:30pm start with Benefits at 9:30pm :)
 
I'm not sure if time has dimmed the memory a little but I don't seem to recollect as many penalties then as we have now but it is a long time ago. I also saw the Charlton game that year - Sam Bartram in goal for them

I might have added that the original game was the Preston N E game and we lost 4-0
 
When you answer the door to the parcel delivery guy who has left a box on your step about as big as an electric toaster, he looks at you and asks, “ Do you need a hand with that? “ 🙁
 
Body parts keep failing - in no particular order

Snapped a tendon / dislocated / broke a finger
Forgetting why I went to the kitchen
On Wednesday when I finished work I thought it was Tuesday - good day that
In bed before 930 most nights
Gallstones meaning I need the gallbladder out
Forgetting why I went to the kitchen…..

Almost 50.
Christ. After reading that I had you down for 85 minimum.

Just one word. Dignitas :D
