This was now my second football match - five years after the last, and again at the Shay in an FA Cup clash. Â I remember that it was a couple of days after my birthday, and it was live on Sky (which, in those days, was a very grand affair). Â I had gone out with my family for a meal at a pub in Halifax, and next thing I know my dad is foisting me off onto a stranger who had a spare ticket for the match - I can't imagine that this kind of thing would happen now. Halifax, who were either non-league or bottom division at the time, beat second-tier West Brom in this game, and it got me more interested in football. Â Despite witnessing two great FA cup ties at the Shay, it seemed that my allegiances would lay elsewhere.
