I must admit a soft spot for Celtic. When I was little I used to collect those football cards, you know, the ones that came with free bubble gum - or were free with bubble gum, I can't remember which way round, but it made the cards smell nice, it may have been Bazooka Joe, but I could be mistaken, and, oh by the way, did anyone ever send off 8000 Bazooka Joe wrappers for a plastic spinny thing that you could fly around, anyway... so I had this football card, and it was unusual, coz it featured a player in a green and white-striped shirt, pre sponsorship days, although they could quite easily have been sponsored by Pacers, looking like that, and I thought it was odd, or quirky, which is odd, because my fave footie team at the time, because of where we were brought up, was Queens Park Rangers, who also play in hoops, except theirs are blue and white, and they could probably have been sponsored by Brasso, but anyway, this guy was called Danny McBrain or something, which was like a proper Scottish name, unlike what it would be today, Petr Yogortski or some other name reflecting a second-rate East European not good enough for the Conference and anyway, I didn't know what to do with him coz he was the only Scottish card I had so I think I swapped him for the card showing the Lincoln City team badge.
But that's why. Hello Chloe, by the way.
