Going the match / I won’t state which team so as not to turn it into something else.

 

but I can still look at areas in the ground I’ve sat in for going on 40 years and all the memories that come with it.

 

the pubs beforehand are different on a match day to any other day. 
 

buying a programme, having a bet. 
 

Seeing people that I only really see through football.

 

love it and don’t do it as much as I used to unfortunately.

That's nice.

It's Wednesday int it.

Come on, say it's Wednesday and I'll leave you alone 😁

For me it's wearing certain aftershaves which I wore when I was younger. I think smells are very evocative and can really take you back to the moment. (Boss Number 1, Paco Rabanne, and 1881 Men by Cerruti, in case you were wondering).

 

The taste of oven chips or yorkshire puddings & gravy takes me back to my childhood years at my Mum & Dads.

 

 

I completely agree about smells being evocative. I remember when they used to tarmac the road, the smell would take me right back to my childhood  in Summertime for some reason! Not quite as up market as Boss Number 1! 😊 😁

The smell of a really well-cooked burger takes me back to my first visits to Uncle Sam's Chuck Wagon on Ecclesall Road in the mid-70s. As soon as you were seated a waitress (they were always waitresses) would bring you all a cold glass of water. Gawd knows why they stopped doing that. It was really civilised and customer-focused.

(To this day I still reckoned their chilli con-carne and melted cheese tacos are unbeatable.)

 

McDonalds and the like are pitiful comparisons after you'd encounter one of Sam's proper flame-grilled burgers.

I remember Uncle Sam's, it really was a great place. I don't remember the cold glass of water that they gave you before ordering though! There was a really good burger place next door to the Broomhall Tavern (Can't remember the name, can you?) The food was so good but what I remember the most was the circular tray of relishes that they brought to the table. I remember a waiter coming to take it away and my response was "just leave it" Not like me at all! :D:

When I'm in Sheffield, a visit to the Red Deer on Pitt Street. Must be one of a handful of Sheffield  pubs that have served consistently good hand pulled beer since the days before CAMRA. Nigh on 50 years ago to the first time I went there. Glad the toilets aren't still outside across the yard though.

Yes, Fat Jacks, thank you! We used to go there regularly. I remember when the owner sold the business and we went in. No relish tray and the burgers were different and not great. When we were leaving the new owners shouted out to ask if everything had been alright. Didn't have the heart to say.
