Watford football club in the early 80's
Back in the day when Watford were a top notch footie club my Dad had a season ticket and one for me (under 5 years old) to get me out of mum's hair for the afternoon.

It was about 1982 and a big game in the FA cup Watford were playing Chelsea.

Now back then Chelsea had a bit of a bad name, not much better now, but let's not get sidetracked.

This tense rivalry had led to a much more vocal game than normal a clever little me had been soaking up the atmosphere.

There was a foul and a free kick was on the cards....

The stadium fell silent as the Chelsea player lined up the ball and psyched himself up for the kick.

You could hear a pin drop....

So you can imagine the result when a little voice piped up "Chelsea are a load of f*cking rubbish!"

The ref, the linesmen and 22 professional football players stood and looked on in utter bemusement as 14,000 Watford supporters errupted in laughter.

I suspect the players might not have heard my little voice so from their point of view for no apparent reason thousands of people were laughing their asses off at someone preparing for a free kick.

Meanwhile my poor Dad was embarrissed and I can recall a less than brilliant drive home. I didn't get to go the next week.
