Following St.George
by Steve Tombs
away for over 30 years now. First away game was when I was 16 at Scotland in 1978 , just before Scotland departed for the World Cup in Argentina that England didn’t qualify for. Steve Coppell scored the winner and the only other Englishman I saw all day was my mate who I went with but I’d caught the bug. I’m just back from four trips to the Ukraine where England did better than I expected but made no real impact on the competition, nice place not outstanding. 6??6RF?R'&V?W?bF?R6?f?WBV????F?R6??6RF?G&fV?F??6W2??^( ?B?WfW"??&???v?F??2W??FVB?v?G&?2F??&??????F?f?vV?&v???W&&????W7F????&V?'W2?7&?F???6VF???????FV?Vw&??B????7F?F???RfWr?F?W2v?FV?F?R??&????26??Wv?B?F?Rv?R?????F?fv2Ff?B&V6???2FV'WB?V?v??B&R&6?F?W&R??6WFV?&W'2b?V'2????Bv???&R??FW&W7F??rF?6VR??r?G26??vVBvWGF??rF?6?WBf?"?F6?W2?6?( ?BW7V??&?&?V??F??Vv???RF?Bv2?v2?V6?V?7FV??bV?v??B?V?v??B&V6V?fVBcF?6?WG2F?BvW&R&???FVB?B??FW2?B???7F??76VB?WB?vRV?FVBW7??6?&??rF&?RBF?Rb??( ?2&?VWBv?F?F?6?WB??6?VFVBB *33SV6??w&VB??v?B?B?b??R?????BW????RGV&R????R?bw&?W?bB&V???BFf?B??W2v????w&72&??7W??rv??RF?&?Vv??WBF?R&?B??b?F?W2?b?V?v??Bf??( ?fR&VV?f????v??rV?v??B???R?@??V?v??Bf?2??F??WG6????F?B6?B?F?W&R&R"G&?2F?Bv????v?27F?B?WB2F?R&W7B?????BV?v??BF?W&VB6?WF??W&?6?vR7F'FVB??'&???v?W&R????&&?W266?&VBF?Rv??F?B?WB???F?RFV?f?"?V'2?BvRv??"????F?W&RvW&R???&?WB3f?2F?W&Rg&??V?v??B?BvR??VB??'F?b6?WF??F6???F?R6?6&?&V6???BV?FVB"???B?66?&VBF?RWV?6W"f?"F?R6?WF??F?Rv?Rv2vF6?VB'??V?G&VG2?b'&????76W'6'?v??F?B6VV?&F?W"&ff?VB'?F?RV?G??B7G??R?bf??F&????F?7???vRvV?B??F????FWf?FV?F???W'VwV?'?F?V?F?W&Rv2F??V??bW2?VgB?BvR??7B"???'WB7FV??B6??2v2V?B6???B??&B?F?RF?W"V?FVB????????G&rv??7B6???R??6?F?v??'V??W"?B?BF?W&Rv2"?( ?6??6?7W&fWr?vRFW7FVB?B?BF?W&Rv6?( ?B?BF?R?'?'B6???r???RF?R??6?2?7F???W2f?"F?RFV??7V?B??b???W"6?v???rWF?w&?2&WFV?F??rF?&R?WF?W"&?76WB?F?R?F?W"?V??&&?RG&?v2F?F?R#"v?&?B7W??????v2F?W&Rf?"???F??B?Bv2F?R&W7B?6R?fRWfW"6VV??F??( ?B???rv?W&RF?7F'B?F?Rv?R??6?'&?v??7B&vV?F??v2f?F7F?2??Bv2??F??'2?BF?RF??7?W&Rv2??7&VF?&?RvRv?????F???2F?&V6???V??G????6R??vW&R?WB?F?R6?V?G'?7v?F6?VB?G2??Vv??6RF?6???7G26?WF???&V??v2??F????F?R??v?B6?WF???&V&VB?F??B7G&VWG2vV?B&W6W&??G&?2W??V?BgV???B"??W"?V?B??F?Rf??W2'V??WBG&??g&??F????F?6?&?v?W&R&?F?????f??F&????v??v?G2??6?V"FV??26?V?6V?BvR&RGVRF?????F?Rv?&?B6?V"6?????6????????FV6V?&W"gFW"?W"F??&?Vv??FW6W'fVB6?????2?VwVRf?7F?'????V??6?(
