At the age of 53 this week’s match will be the best though.
Never ever believed we’d get to the Final. Wish my dad could be there. He’d have loved it.
Same sentiment (in my case 48, grandfather – ex-chairman WAFC (late 50s, 60s) and subsequently vice chairman Lancashire FA – used to take me to the cup final as a kid every year)

Saturday will be some day
Sure he’ll be looking on in with immense pride (and no doubt telling the lads they need to do a lot better ….. some folk never happy :dry: )[/quote]
