I wonder if me dad went (almost certainly did!). Wonder if he would have left with 10 minutes to go at 0-0 if a message had come over the tannoy that his wife had gone into labour???

If he'd been like any of our family - male line - he'd have shrugged and said something on the line of 'plenty of time to watch end of match'. Neither my Dad nor I have ever come out before the final whistle. Have felt like it many times, but NEVER done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
