Piece in last night's matchday programme brought back a special memory

[parmoboy]

For years I've had a vague memory of my first ever game at the Riverside being England schoolboys vs Brazil schoolboys, but despite my attempts I haven't been able to find a record of it on the internet.

It was great to see this printed in last night's matchday programme.

Stuart Parnaby was in the England side and Defoe was on the bench.

Wonder if Fernando is the one who was at Man City? Don’t really recognise any of the other Brazilians.

Do you think if you posted this to Tim Vickery (south American football correspondent often on BBC) he might be able to "let us know what happened to them"?

Interesting that. And a match I can't remember happening

Are you sure he was on the bench? Looked like a starter to me.

Don't get him mixed up with De Foe.
