Still Eng & Wales tickets available - £58 ones have all gone (that doesn't quite buy you 5 cans of Bud ), but £185 available .... not sure whether to checkout or not LOL.

Just found this after spotting Roger Jones, Blackburn's goalkeeper. It's the oldest Rovers film I've seen, apart from the 1960 fa cup final.

I remember rubbing mud onto my Subbuteo pitch to make it more lifelike!

I had this in the 1970's.

I spent hours Airfix enamel painting new strips on the (think it was 8) teams I bought. I even had an 8 team 5-a-side World Cup finals when the real thing was on in 1974. After that ended I painted Division 1, plus Blackburn Rovers strips on the teams. I even painted long hair and beards on the players to keep up with 70's fashion.

I had that, loved it. That was really one with the foam upstand right round the pitch to try and keep the ball in play, and the diving goalkeeper was magic.

Only thing for me was, you couldn't get Scottish teams, so I had to paint white lines on a bland red team to look like Aberdeen and then pretend that the Everton team I bought was the mighty Rangers and got to spank the dons every game.

Quick world cup tip ... get some of these in, amazing with an ale

According to reports of the day, Liverpool's Kop End stank of pee!

This talk reminds me of a Billy Connolly take on football violence in Glasgow. Should probably mention that it's NSFW...

On the topic of a urine and football connection

A non-league goalkeeper says he was sent off for reacting to a fan who urinated in his water bottle during an FA Trophy tie.

Warrington Town keeper Tony Thompson, 28, says he squirted the away fan after drinking from the bottle.
