IAN CHILDS:

I was 13 at the time of the game. Growing up just outside High Wycombe the local team was non-league so everyone had a First Division team. My best mate was Andy White and he was an Arsenal fan too. We were both in the Junior Gunners. I was mascot for the first game after we lost the League Cup final to Luton. I still have the pictures of leading the team out alongside Tony Adams through a tunnel of mascots as it was the Junior Gunners’ somethingth anniversary.

Andy was round for the game and we watched it in the front room, just the two of us. I can picture that room clear as day now. Green sofa, mahogany coffee table in front of it that the parents still own, big rug with a red flowery pattern and white tassels round the edge with polished dark wooden floorboards underneath. In the corner was the TV, a boxy number that was pretty big for its day but would be dwarfed by anything you have now. We were having our garage extended and redecorated and that Friday when I got home from school one of the builders asked me if I thought we would do it. I distinctly remember pausing, saying yes, and for the first time actually believing it.
