Born in Church Street Isleworth - same road as EghamBee - although he was 25yrs before me ;O). First footie game I really remember was the '78 World Cup final (11yrs old)
- had been to Bees games a few times before but I had no understanding of footie really until watching this amazing match....Started going properly with brothers then schoolmates (whitton) & used to stand in the Royal Oak all the time. Used to love the Evening games - great atmosphere.
It was my first experience of going out with my mates/brothers unsupervised & I loved every minute. I don't regret one bit that I wasn't taken to another club. I used to go to Stamford Bridge when the Bees were away but although bigger crowds & better atmosphere - It did nothing for me....oh, I couldn't speak Italian either!!!!!
Only been to about 35 grounds - wettest I've been was at VS Rugby & coldest at Bournemouth - most happy Peteboro - most drunk Carlisle (where I lived for a while & met a Bees fan from Penrith!!)...
