Andrew3000 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Such a great tribute, lovely memories. I was 18 years old during the promotion year and particularly recall the excitement that summer as the signings came in. My little brother was away at one point and I recall saving the back pages of the telegraph and sticking them on his bedroom door for him to enjoy on his return (home pcs and dial up internet were still a new science in my home at that point). Such great anticipation for the Prem league. I then went to uni in London and missed most of the fun, apart from match of the day of course. ??

Steve Bloomer's Washing Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 Thanks Andrew! It's an episode we had been planning for a while, and in an odd way it was nice to be able to talk about a more successful era, rather than the shambles we are at the moment...
