"Cutbush City Limits!"Here’s a real collector’s item a clean sheet for derek Richardson
Captain Blade
Vital Youth Team
I think I was at that match, but I wasn't counted in the attendance. Can you guess why?
Grayblade
Vital Champions League
Lifted over the turnstiles?
My Dad used to lift me over. It got a bit embarrassing when I reached 16.

There was a big turnstile fiddle at the time. Was told huge numbers weren't being counted.

At the pig sty they shudda got done for fiddling the figures of thick geezers who were allowed in. Worse than tactical questioning!

Lifted over the turnstiles?
That's a good guess - my parents told me they would even take me in a pram and lift me and/or my brother over, when I was a baby or young child (my brother's a bit older than me).
But, no, whilst it's a good guess, it's not correct. The reason I wouldn't have been counted in the attendance if I was there that day was ... because I was a foetus!
Hence, whenever anyone asks me how long I've been a Blade, or how long I've been going to watch United, my reply is always the same: "All my life, and then some!" meaning, of course, that I started supporting United and going to matches before I was even born!

I suppose working on that theory, I may have attended as a sperm head.
