Which is also, quite randomly, the only game my wife has ever attended in her life. If I'd wanted to make her a lifelong convert, I'm really not sure that freezing night and 0-0 draw was my greatest work!

That York game is infamous in my memory as the most boring match I've ever watched. There were no chances created throughout the entire game. According to the BBC match report (yes, I was sad enough to track it down!), York hit the woodwork twice in the first half (:stunned:) but the final sentence - "Southend had more possession after the interval, although opportunities were few and far between for both sides" - suggests I'm on the right lines.
What I also remember is that I was off work and visiting my mum in Northampton so I had a fair old drive back...

Anyway, my real contribution is the Man U game: my other half decided to move to the UK that evening! Admittedly I thought we were going absolutely hammered, especially considering our dire form at that time, and especially when I learned that Ronaldo and Rooney were playing, so I didn't think it would be the momentous occasion it turned out to be but as I sat in the lounge at Heathrow I simply couldn't believe what I was watching!
I don't regret not going, though, as I still got to see the game - even that wouldn't have happened had her flight been on time - and the sight of the sheer bemusement on other people's faces after I celebrated like a lunatic following Eastwood's goal and then even more so after the final whistle was priceless.
Funnily enough I also missed our 3-0 win over Col Ewe a few months earlier as I was away visiting her in her native Israel (as you can probably tell we were doing the long-distance thing having met the previous summer). The profile pic is me celebrating directly after that result was confirmed. I look a bit older than that now. :smile:
