We needed to find a local pub, so while I was on the phone to a mate trying to find where Gooodrich Road was, three of our party got out their A-Zs.<\/p>\n<p>Much frantic searching followed, with the A-Zs being passed around from one baffled viewer to the next.

Ooops!<\/p>\n<p>It was downhill all the way after that. We went to the Crystal Palace with some of us half watching the football while others sought more chemical based entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>The exchange I witnessed between a &#8216;tired and emotional&#8217; Jezza and some even more tired and emotional Greek bloke was priceless:<\/p>\n<p>Jezza: Did youzzzz seesh the fooshball?
