Rocky 4 - one of my big memories
My half-sister moved out that year and I got her room in the basement. Then she took my little sister to Rocky 4 - my first M -rated movie - without telling my parents.
All great memories
Also Gretzky in full flight and the Oilers win their second straight Stanley Cup.

`but few knew who he was`
It took a few months for even our own fans to pronounce his name properly... I kept thinking we had signed a new Jock every week.... one bloke in the Chicken Run kept calling him McFreeney... heard a McErvey... all sorts...

West Ham United 5 - 1 Stoke City
Two of WHU's goals were scored by Billy Bonds. His last 2 goals for the club.
It was an evening match and all I can recall is that it absolutely pissed down all night.

wasn't there an ITV strike and Frankie Mac was leading goalscorer but few knew who he was.
Possibly Saint & greavsie taking him out on the street and asking passers by if they knew who he was.

Sneaked onto a Yugoslav cargo ship in Calcutta's docks and had a splendid dinner of squid, chips, salad and wine. Long story.
Read reports of West Ham games in newspapers that arrived three weeks after they were published. Compelling reading, even then.
