Cheers FB. My situation a bit similar to yours although I was later coming to the soccer feast. My dad WAS a football fan, but was in England at the time. My mum was English but had no heed on football. My dad brought her to one England v 'Eire' game in the 50's but she wasn't impressed!
In a very remote part of the West of Ireland (still here now looking out at the wind and rain) we didn't even have electricity in'66 never mind a tv. My dad was a big Man Utd fan, so when he came back in 67, he started 'educating' his 3 sons ( I was the youngest at 4) on how wonderful they were - which to be fair at the time they were. Bestie, Law and co were talked about in my house as often as the next door neighbours. Anyway he didn't enjoy much success with his 'recruitment' as he produced a Leeds, Liverpool and QPR fan! |
Glad he had one with a bit of sense.
My family were from Wexford town and I was there for the group stage and then home for the QF against Argentina.
The first English league game I was taken to was with a friend and his Irish Man U supporting Dad. It was at Upton Park with Best, Charlton, Styles, Moore, Hurst and Peters. (and f***ing Harry). It was a 3-1 away win. Can't remember any scorers though.
When did you get electricity and TV? | | | |
