Do you want to feel old?

This match and the iconic goal scored by David Beckham, were twenty years ago today

We were so shit in that game. I believe Alvar Hanso was there sat somewhere behind the goal.

Crazy innit.

The day I fell in love with football. I wish I had turned the f***ing TV over.

There are only three moments I can remember absolutely losing my shit and going feral watching sport. Here they are in reverse order:

03. THAT Dexter Blackstock goal against Bristol
02. Beckham's goal against Greece there
01. Harmison's bouncer to get Kasprowicz and win the test match at Headingley, Ashes 2005

I remember not celebrating because I just assumed Germany were winning!

I was in Blackpool on the piss watching the match with the lads on the then main-strip (think we were in the Tower Lounge?), and I pulled this lush blonde with fantastic tits, so took her back to the hotel at half time.

She was like a sack of spuds, and I was bored out my head. I carried on like a trooper to finish the job, and just as I was about to I heard a massive roar, shouting & thriving from outside as Beckham scored.

I looked her in the eye and it was clear as day she recognized my face said "f***, gutted. I should have stayed with the lads and watched the match". Most awkward moment of my life

And I caught a bastard dose off her too.

A tale as old as time

If you want to feel old, just stand up. If you groan, you're getting there.

Same year we beat Germany 5-1 on their own patch. Now that was a messy evening

We are only a few years away from being as close to Euro 96 as that was to when we won the World Cup in 1966.

Oh god, if it wasn't for the receding hairline, grey hairs, expanded waistline and increasing wrinkles, that comment would make me feel really old.

I'm just back from a 20-mile bike ride around the Vale...
I don't know which the most groaning... my aging bike, or my aging knees.
