I remember as kids we stumbled across an extensive porn collection when retrieving a football from some overgrown bushes in the park.

We came back the next day to have another look and there was a bloke in there with his trousers round his ankles.

He reckoned he was having a shit but I think that was the shock at being rumbled having a wank.
 














 




Betting their were some overgrown bushes in the mags as well.

I had Super Striker with the diving goalies. I remember painting the red team a very shaky claret and blue. One goalie had a broken arm. 

It's no wonder I can't remember anything now as my head is full of all this inconsequential junk!

MANNERS

Oh, and football presenters and pundits actually bothering to dress properly any more, in favour of looking like they've just wandered off the street in jeans and a jacket. If you don't look professional, you don't act professional.
