Southampton away in 1986 - How it was, when it was nufc
Southampton away in 1986 – How it was, when it wasIt’s not a kick in the backside off 350 miles to get from Newcastle to Southampton, so God only knows why me and my mate ventured to Washington service station late in the evening of 3 October 1986, with a trip to the Dell to watch the toon the following day our stated objective.
As it happens, that’s precisely what we managed, I think the guy running the coaches took pity on our rather bedraggled appearance after upwards of 36 hours without any sleep. As hitchhiking goes, I haven’t done it since, which is rather surprising since we found it an absolute doddle. Looking back, the fact that a university student heading to the smoke together with his girlfriend was our chauffeur, makes our leg of the journey to London both easy to explain, whilst at the same time, admittedly, somewhat difficult to believe. But that’s who gave us the ride. His name was Mark and seemed happy to help out.
