What a lovely story. Your kids will regret not paying more attention to their old man's stories. When you are dead they'll try and remember how their parents met and if my experience is anything to go by, it'll be a game of Chinese whispers ending up with; in about 1981, dad took his then girlfriend to see the Paddington Bear Musical starring Brain Rix at the Highbury Palladium. The show was cancelled due to the untimely death of co-star Clive Dunn, famous as TV's Corporal Smith. To make it worse, Dad's mate Adrian Butterworth copped off with Dad's girlfriend, Dad went out on the piss, got lucky and pulled and the rest is history.

It was an FA Cup replay at Elland Rd. Aidan Butterworth had just put Leeds ahead against 1st Div Arsenal and it was the dying seconds of Extra time. Rix then hit a practically identical free-kick, which totally deceived John Lukic, even down to the way he over-emphasised his intention to cross it to the far post. I also remember it taking an age to cross the line on a muddy pitch as Lukic scrambled across the goal-line. I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve seen another such perfectly disguised free kick until Bryan did it. It has a kind of significance for me, as I’d attended the first draw at Highbury. So I decided that I had to see the conclusion of the tie, again at Highbury thanks to Arse winning the toss. I got to London with my then girlfriend, only to find that ref Clive Thomas had called the game off very late in the day. After a bit of a pub crawl round the Paddington area, I ended up proposing to my now wife, so made the journey home engaged. I still blame/thank Clive Thomas for the way everything turned out. When I tried to show my now 36 and 34 year old offspring the similarity of the goals at a family get-together, I could not find the Rix goal anywhere on the internet, although Butterworth’s is there in various places. Needless to say, the ‘kids’ were completely underwhelmed by all this, even though it is at least partly responsible for their very existence! KOT. PS Arse eventually won the 2nd replay a couple of days later Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10 UK Shared Business Services Ltd.
