It was such a pleasure to be back amongst these guys. Kingy looked after Kenny Palin in the bar before hand, such a kind man, totally different to the hard man skipper on the pitch... I'm proud to call them all friends, more so than heros, as back then AFC was a family from top to me at the bottom... The Bogman label comes from one summer when I replastered and repainted all the outdoor unrinals at ML... the others bought me a T shirt.. "Bogman of Moss Lane".. so there you have it, now I'm getting back to my bottle of lovely Cahors Malbec. hic hic.
Tony brought his grandson to the event, David's son. Pre match a few of us used to keep an eye on him over a beer and Hamlet cigar in The Moss as he wasn't allowed in the dressing room! Then back to the Moss afterwards to do the quiz in the Football Pink as soon as it arrived!
Even Sid the landlord was a god guy... best hot steak sandwiches in the North West!
Nite all!
