Paul 25th July 2020

Dear Dad, Thank you, for giving me my passion for the greatest football team in the world; the stories from 65 and 66 when you went to Milan and Glasgow; watching the 71 cup final with me in my playpen; my first game v Newcastle in March 77; going to the Echo building to make sure I got my photograph with the team in August 79; waiting patiently for the title winning game in May 80 to finish (we weren't able to get in) and taking me on the Kop when the barriers opened towards the end to see us lift the title; and my first final in 87 and the meal in Stratford on the way back with your all your friends from work and the bouncers watching over us to make sure we paid! Wonderful memories, which saw Paula and I become season tickets holders and 30 years later we are Champions of Europe, the World and England when we lifted number 19, which I'm so happy you knew we'd won.
