MOST MEMORABLE MATCH
Any win v the makems is special but seeing the toon in Dubnica (Small town in Slovakia) for some minor game. Stayed a night en route in Bratislava and ended up sneaking into the Slovakian answer to Wimbledon and playing tennis on their centre court. After 20 minutes about 200 people in Orange arrived and started jeering us and chucking water bottles….. they were there for a Davis Cup match v Holland. At the football match ended up on the pitch chatting to Shearer (my hero). There were other events on that trip that shall be saved for my memoirs.
