My dad is an R,so it was on the cards I would be an R also.
He took me to a testimonial for some Baggies fella against the R's at LR,think
I was 8yrs old and he put me pitch side of the hoardings,that's when I
Had my first glimpse of Rodney! The rest is history,followed them through the
ups and downs,wouldn't change a thing!

I had forgotten all that. Kids with their legs hanging over the side of the wall onto the pitch was the order of the day back then as the walls were so deep (and the paddock was worst as it was below pitch level) kids could otherwise not see. Some were organised enough to bring boxes to stand on but others (like my old fella) used to just pop me over the wall and row with the coppers to leave me there. Used to be able to have a mini pitch invasion (mini in the sense we only dared go about a yard on) of all the kids when we scored. Good days.

It was just before the war, I had moved to the country from whitechapel with my sisters agnes and abigail to stay for the duration of the war, the farmer and his wife were both rangers fans and the farmer wore the hoops kit every time he went down to the pub, and the farmer's wife had knitted a huge rangers scarf for their favourite pig, and Dixie, (that was the pig's name) would sit in front of the radio to listen to the scores on Saturday nights. Those were very happy days.
That's how I became a rangers fan.
