So did I !! Seriously I wanted to be John Travolta as a 10 year old but looking at the shit the poor man has been through since fortunate I'm not. I'm more Sonny than Danny,. especially the waistline!
In that Ipswich Cup Final win didn't the scorer Roger Osborne faint and have to be substituted after scoring and being jumped on by celebrating team mates?

Poor sod. My son was born at 5 to midnight on 31st August. The midwife registered him as being born ten minutes later, saying, 'Trust me, you'll be grateful for this'. She was right.

You left school at 15 in 1978? The school-leaving age was raised to 16 several years earlier.
Yep I was 16 in August 1978, hence I was one the youngest in my year!
