A story on some of the sports websites I follow today prompted a memory of years ago. BW and I had been out shopping and popped into one of our then-favourite bars for a pint prior to going home. Grabbing our beers, we adjourned to our usual seats and found a discarded copy of The Guardian.
Usually, we'd not bother with it, but there was an advert for The Guardian's very own Fantasy Football competition. That piqued my interest and before long, BW and I were engrossed in the stats. It was a good few hours later when we finally had our squad together, ready to post. We'd only meant to be in the pub for about half an hour, just to kill a bit of time.
The thing is, my memory of this afternoon has it being a dark, wet, cold day in the middle of winter. But the timing of the fantasy football competition would have meant this this had to have been probably the middle of the summer - late July or some time in August - before the football season kicked off.
To be fair, it is probably 25 years ago
