Uncanny...I was 10 living in Surrey (Kew) doing exactly the same thing.... 1. As an eight-year-old (living in Surrey at the time) laying in bed on a Wednesday evening in 1975 and tuning in to "European Soccer Special" on BBC Radio 2 to hear Alan Parry et al bring live second-half coverage of the second-leg European Cup semi-final with Barcelona. At the time it was considered one of the greatest defensive displays by an English team in Europe.

Favorite "armchair" experiences: 1.

In 1992 taking my new shortwave radio out of the office (in suburban Washington, DC) just in time to catch the sports news on the BBC World Service and listening to the (recorded) commentary of Shutt's goal against Stuttgart in the Barca-hosted rematch against the German champions. 3. Hmmm, lots of contenders for third place but I think watching Smith's winning goal against Lazio in 2000 on the TVs in Summers Restaurant in Arlington, Virginia (a suburb of Washington). The sheer class of it and the fact it meant we were beating the Italian champions on their own turf in the biggest club competition in the world was just so exhilarating. Cheers!

Yeah there used to be a few BOTL, none anymore I don't think. Where is Maggie anyway, is he counting all his money from his Vectoria app or something? Alright so Villa at Wembley was a lowpoint, what has been everybody's armchair highpoint? For me the sound of "3-0, to the weakest link" as I listened to the Deportivo game via some cruddy web radio feed was a real highlight. Not allowed to count games you actually went to, has to be a real armchair experience. Jeremy - singlehandedly trying to give the list CPR, or send everyone off it for good, one of the two. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
