no, it must have been around 1970 when an old chap who knew my dad gave me the badge, on condition that i looked after it and passed it on to another generation.

i only wear it at special occasions like Wembley,Cardiff, Millenium Stadium. next outing will be for our first game in Premier League.


just wish i could get that  damn photo uploaded.
