I had a phone call from my brother Mike this afternoon although he couldn't hear a word I was saying as there was so much noice on his side. He was at Wembley for the FA Cup Final. One of the FA's sponsors are National Express for whom Mike has worked for the last 42 or so years.
He sat next to Chelsea's great goalkeeper from the 60s and 70s , Peter Bonetti. Unfortunately his record was tarnished in the 1970 world cup when he made an error when deputising for Gordon Banks.
Later Mike sent me a picture of himself (right). At least they have one similar quality and its not goalkeeping.
By chance, just before Vera and Derek arrived we were channel hopping and we found a match between Leeds and Chelsea from the 70s featuring Peter Bonetti. "A lot of people have beaten Leeds since then" said Marie. Owtch.
