Very sad. A staple of my childhood.

Bowl of Big Soup (eat all that and you'll grow up to be a big strong lad) and a crusty cob, Saint and Greavsie, then up to the ground to queue outside early as we needed to get on the back row so I could see properly owing to being about 3'2'' at the time. That was every other Saturday in the late 80s for me.
