Sandy, I do hope you're in good health, mate.

Never been better.

Good to hear. Was admittedly a bit concerned about the sudden nature of your ja606 retirement.
Sandy, in the spirit of your historical articles. Spurs v Villa, I was at the '71 League Cup final to see Chivers get a brace in a 2-0 win as I'm sure you remember. It's funny how as a young lad you go to watch games all over the place and not just you're own team. If memory serves I seem to remember Villa were in the third tier at the time.

Yes you are correct mate, Villa were third division, and Chivers scored a couple in the last 10 minutes. As you say when you are you are younger you go to games of all sorts. I used to be a regular at the Bridge in the 60s, I had a mate from college who lived in the King's Road, funny enough he was actually a Spurs man, but we used to go to evening games at Stamford Bridge, I used to go to Charlton and QPR a fair bit as well. If there was an evening game on in London, I was usually there. I once even took a girlfriend to Highbury to see Arsenal play Leeds. Honestly what was I thinking.
