Nostalgia is ever present in football and engraved into its very foundations.
We all reminisce about this game and that and how fantastic or poor that experience was even decades ago, Rooster as super sub, Claridge at Wembley, 5-0 v Cambridge in the play-offs at Filbo, 3-3 v Arsenal and that hat-trick by Bergkamp.
Walsh, here, there and every ****ing where, Julian’s goal at Barnsley, the list is endless, ah, wait I missed the greatest one “Leicester ****ing City, champions of England.
Nostalgia is why there was a nationwide fans uprising because of the proposed Super League, the removal of the potential 1/100 David v Goliath occurrence which millions of FA Cup fans dream of in every round.
We need nostalgia, it is what we hold on to in dark days and fans hope for the future.
I am nostalgic for our deceased owner and we owe him a debt that can’t ever be repaid because he created nostalgia for our children and for their future.
