[Parisowl]

To answer your question St Charles we moved to Paris in ‘97. My company in North East got taken over but I was asked to stay. Option was move to Swansea ot Paris. Wife took about 1 second to choose. I was quite late in becoming a Wednesday fan. Met a “Sheffield” lass at Uni. Moved to work for BSC in ‘77. Turns out “Sheffield” lass was born in Moorgate hospital in Rovrum and brought up in Thurcroft. I think she was a bit ashamed so said she came from Sheffield. I originate from IOW (remember Roy Shiner) and local clubs were Saints and Pompey. But I took to supporting Man City (mainly because they were not Manure who all the other kids supported). But coming from the Island you never had a close link to any club and also the reason I feel a bit of an imposter on this site. Lived in Sheffield from ‘77 to ‘91 and went to odd games. But played for local teams in Saturday and Sunday leagues so few opportunities. Moved to North East and brother thought it a good idea to simpify buying Xmas presents for 4 kids. Bought half season tickets for all 4 in ‘’94/95/96. I bought my own and we had great days out. Long drive to game listening to Lightning Seeds, walk to ground, mince beef and onion pie at half time, drive home listening to David (toe sucking) Mellor on 606. Loved it all. I remember first game with season Ticket was when Darko Somethingvic and the prancing donkey played. Best game ever was 5 - 1 thrashing of West Ham with Waddle doing donkey ears at David Burroughs. Also sat behind Posh Spice at Old Trafford the day she met Goldenballs (sporty spice took some stick that day from Manure fans). That was last game I saw before moving to Paris. Still got their autographs on menu if you want to bid. But left watching top premier teams and now I go back to see Forest Green, Fleetwood, Morcambe and f** Wycombe. Sorry for pouring out my Wednesday story.
