Thread: I just dropped my 9 year old at school. Military precision rules in the car park, etc. 42 years ago today, when I was also 9, my dad gave me our one ticket to @SunderlandAFC v West Ham, after trying to slip turnstile operator £5 to let him lift me over turnstile. It was last game of season in old Division II, delayed because West Ham were in FA Cup Final. Sunderland had a chance of promotion. I was desperate to go. My dad had called over and managed to scare up one ticket.
