Re: Wembley - 11th anniversary

The drunkest I have ever been whilst watching a match. Spent a few hours in Kilburn before the match, drinking Long Island Ice Teas in the sunshine, before hopping on the Jubilee Line to Wembley.
Most of my memories of the match are from the DVD later.
Great day out!

Funnily enough, the attached video popped up on my You Tube feed today. Some very good goals from Moore.

The one on 7 minutes, at Hillsborough, was exquisite. Ian Moore at hus best. Shame he couldn’t get a consistency to his game.

I’ve seen loads of other walkers and other cyclists whilst I’ve been out and about on my wanderings and rides. There seems to be a fair level of camaraderie between people, too. It’s very rare not to get a nod, smile, or cheery wave(all at safe social distances). The fine weather has been a help, too.
