Missed a cousin's wedding for a home game at Withdean. I told them I was working- oddly, when I turned up for the reception in the evening, several people asked me what the score was.

It was almost like they saw through my cunning ruse. We lost.

Ended what could have been a promising relationship because i went to "too much" football. Thing is it was the champ season in L1 any other and i wouldnt have gone to as many aways.

When I was modelling in Denmark I stood some gay guy up who was as expecting a date.

Oh and I missed my operation as well.

Giving up hours of my young life spent in the car on the motorway to watch that dire stuff at Gillingham.

Moved and shortened a foreign family holiday to make the Doncaster Amex game once the fixtures were announced.

No sacrifice to me, a pleasure, but selfish over the rest of the family.

No regrets ... Will never forget the wall of singing noise as I entered the WSU concourse from the stairwell, and 2 incredible and calm finishes by William Buckley.

By the seaside in West Somerset
got a disciplinary warning for not turning in to work on the night of the cup final replay. Had problems with the train back to Birmingham from London as well and ended up with a 10 mile walk home so pretty bad night all round.
Walsall a few yewrs ago I got an early flight back from Amsterdam but it was delayed. Frantic drive up the M6 in pouring rain - parked illegally and got there just as we went 0-3 down on a night when we played some of our most dismal football ever. Got a parking ticket too.
Leicester in the league cup away - missed the last train and slept on the station on a bitterly cold night before going straight in to work via M&S to buy a suit and shirt (jeans not allowed in those days).
That aside, every home game is a 400+ mile round trip and between 7 and 9 hours driving with evening games meaning an afternoon shopping with the wife in Churchill Square (never cheap) and getting home at 2am or later.

I should probably spend my Saturday's near a toilet, in case the previous nights beer decides, suddenly and without prior notice, that it all wants to come out of me at once. Do I let it stop me from going? Sometimes, but it is a risk I will gladly pay to see Gary Dicker float a wonderful cross onto Ashley Barnes' face.
