Marine! In late 80’s my mate played in nets for Mossley, he was playing away at Marine on a rainy Tuesday night. My girlfriend had started her first year at uni in Liverpool so I hitched a ride with him in his Escort mk2 to meet the Mossley team bus.
Not sure what they thought about some pasty faced long haired stoner drooping onto the bus.
My mate made me watch the first half when all I wanted was to do was hotfoot it to my sweatheart. There was nobody there at all apart from middle aged ex pros in long Umbro coats, scouting.
I fucked off early and somehow managed to get two buses one into town center then out to somewhere like anfield I think to meet my sp. No mobiles or smart phones, no idea how we managed it. The motivation of wild hormones drove me on.
That was the last time we spent the night together. It was ace!
Marine will always have a soft spot in my heart, they inadvertently managed to let me get my balls up with my first love for one last time..
