I was late to the show. My Dad showed no interest. My uncle and a cousin enjoyed the Mal and Venables years, but never took me along. Oddly he insisted his 3 boys chose different teams..so the oldest chose Palace. He probably wanted to save on taking them to games.
Thus, I followed the wankers for a while. But my football interest was Pannini and listening to Scotland on the radio in 1978. Brockley County didn't play football as a school, so my ball experience was being bullied into goalkeeping while the bullies fired a rock hard ball at me in a penalty game on concrete in the playground. Between Chinese burns, slaps if you got good grades, British Bulldog, and neck and forehead slaps.
The Team of the Eighties, Forest, Villa and Ipswich more or less passed me by. Especially as I was moved to the coast after my parents divorced and my nan and mother sent to the funny farm.
I would say my first bit of real awareness and passing and disappointment was the 82 World Cup.
I returned to Croydon to my uncle's in New Addington in 1985, and Palace for me started there. I missed the good days, and the wilderness and grew with Sir Steve's building project. Wright and I may have made our debuts in the same game. LOL
