VaderTON Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 10 years back to this very day...seems hard to believe....but a good few of us were on the march to sunny St Denis stadium for the Brazil vs Scotland match in the World Cup opener. What a day it was, blistering sun in the Parisain skys, beevy as cheep as you could wish for, Brazilians left right and centre making one huge party atmosphere in 'Village Brazil'. Hendo and I, plastered..blootered burned to a crisp...brilliant! Then goin in to the stadium itself...god, one false move and you were on your way to some drop...the atmosphere for the build up was immense...2hrs before KO, the french knew how to throw a party for the biggest game in the world..usual then happened, they score 4 mins in- never really took notice- but when collins stepped up to take our pen, it seemed to feel like an eternity was passing, then when he scored it....."AVALANCHE" the noise was superb, plus we became part of the avalanche of supporters falling down the stairs behind us in absolute rapture, never mind the end result that day, we did brilliant....could seriously do with us being in another big show...

Funny you should say that LCM...Hendo and I came across a guy who was the spitting image of kid creole minus his coconuts he invited us to his wedding- needless to say we were gashed out of our skulls on his 'home broo' Ask Hendo! especially about Herve's place on rue de lafyette..he was a wee jem, opened till the last man left( or collapsed on the pub floor)....

VaderTON Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 also somehow reminds me of a story about big barbarosa. If memory serves me right he broke his ankle and had it in plaster. But whilst sittin in the pub wi his leg up his mobile went. It was his mam askin in a shocked voice 'what had you done to your foot?' not suspecting a thing he said nothin what you talkin about? Your leg..the wan i can see in plaster on the table on the tv noo. Camera crew had been in the same pub as him and he had no idea it was being shown back home. Poor sod.
