It will also include a political dimension, I always felt on the outside\u00a0of the\u00a0sporting mainstream of the time (still do)\u00a0 because of my views e.g.\u00a0as a cricket lover I was firmly in the anti-apartheid group when all you heard at cricket matches was sport and politics shouldn&#8217;t mix-I did flounce out of one or two bars over this and shout abuse at Mike Gatting\u00a0and co! My football perspective has always been odd\u00a0and almost the dinosaur like-e.g.\u00a0I\u00a0always make a point and will say &#8220;top flight football&#8221; instead of\u00a0Premier League, I\u00a0resented Sky giving the impression that football only started in 1992!\u00a0\u00a0I will try to write with humour even if it is from an old git&#8217;s perspective!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Had a very vivid dream last night that I have remembered and written notes on.
