It must've been around 1980 I was given free match tickets for most of the season in return for working in the players bar after the game. My sister's boyfriend's dad (keep up) was the head steward or something so we ended up running to and fro supplying the players with a steady supply of free liquid refreshment.
I met most of the 1st team at that time, all were polite and modest on the whole. Dave Watson's wife was a snob though, even the sight of me seemed to cause her pain. I do remember Rossi and Parfitt from Status Quo were their guests on one occasion. My most vivid memory was Ivan Golac, incredibly nice chap. He would sit with his silent spouse (built like a tank) drink his half a lager then quietly leave, always politely thanking me as he did so.
Players Bar eh? Different times indeed.
