[Amelia Chaffinch]

My dad died the day before the 1995 final. I stayed with my mum.

I wasn't going anyway, btw, I was staying close to home by then because it looked like the end was near. My poor dad had been written off by the consultant too weeks before, told he couldn't drive anymore and pretty much had his spirit broken .. not that he said anything ... but you could tell.
