Guilty! Yes I can knit, but only in straight lines, and I tend to get bored with it easily. When I was a teenager I knitted myself an Arsenal scarf (I was a devout fan) but got bored after three panels..it was the shorted scarf in history..two red stripes with one white in between ’em.
What’s more…I wore the bugger to a Glasgow Rangers/Arsenal friendly. Well..I say ‘wore’ but it was more a case of waving it like a flag, which was pretty inadvisable considering I was with my brother and his mate, up the Rangers side of the stadium. I dunno why, as my bro supports Celtic.
Howsoever..I waited around the stadium afterwards and got lucky..I met Charlie George, Pat Rice and Alan Ball.
I’ve still got my signed programme…ooh and I stroked Charlie’s lovely long hair.
Did you bunk off school or were you a model pupil?
