Having watched my first Cup Final in '87 when the Arse beat us in the League Cup Final 2-1 (thanks to 'Champagne Charlie') I have watched many great matches and grew up on success.
Through the dark 90's fulled with mediocre players in average teams, when we were a laughing stock in comparison to the glory days, it only strengthened my resolve about how much I love this club and how it hurts when it doesn't go well.
I remember when I cried and was inconsolable at the last kick of the 88-89 season and even when the poor relations across the way brought an end to our unbeaten run record in the old First Division the year before.
I WOULDN'T HAVE SWOPPED IT FOR ANYTHING
