Just before christmas 2007 my marriage of 19 years came to end,i knew it was coming,most people do who have been through similar circumstances,there was nothing left anymore between us apart from that is,our two lads who are growing up to be the fine human beings i knew they would be and for that my ex wife and myself can take something we both can be proud of,Tina just let me say this,its all over now between us,but i am proud to call you the mother of my lads and despite everything thats gone off between us,that will never change.
The following weeks were the worst of my life,i moved back to my parent's,christmas came and went and i hardly noticed it to be honest,my lads stopped talking to me which hurt me more than anything's ever done in my 46 years on this earth,my old man and best friend then suffered a heart attack early in the new year and it was touch and go with him for a while,things in my life were falling apart and i really struggled to come to terms with it all.
Of course life goes on,and no matter what's happening to its supporter's personal life,Barnsley Fc are there every week,9 months a year and thank god for that,and when the draw came out for the 5th round of the FA cup we found ourselfs drawn away to Liverpool.......tasty !!!.
By early February i had moved out of my parents house and into rented accomodation,my old man was on the mend and although looking very tired he seemed to be moving in the right direction,my lads were still not talking to me though, and despite my best efforts to try to mend this situation....it just did not cut any ice.
To tell the truth Barnsley Fc were just about the last thing on my mind at that time,i had not been down to watch them in many a week,i kept up with the results and what have you, but that's all i did,and so i missed out on a ticket to Anfield for the cup tie.......not that i lost any sleep over it mind you.
I awoke on the day of the game,drew back the curtains and found the sun shining and a clear blue sky,it was cold and there had been a sharp frost,i put the kettle on and went outside for a smoke,then suddenly i remembered we were due at Anfield in less than 6 hours time for an FA cup tie and the juices suddenly started flowing through my body...... again.
