I was enjoying this story until the dirty pants bit. You just despair, really, don't you.

She was a girl guide. I fell in love with her as I was already a smitten West Ham fan from the early exposure to Johnny Byrne and the rest of the Hammers in their fantastic claret and blue on bubblegum cards in 1962! I just had to be different and be the only kid in Wigan to support someone other than Man Utd, Liverpool or Everton. Never saw her again after that trip! Not an actual player but almost as good to a teenage boy from the North.
