15 years ago John Browne and I (bottom pic) would not have imagined NASC being able to get 60 tickets and run a coach to a Premier League game at a new 60,000 all-seater stadium, just a few months after also seeing our team in a Champions League Final.

How times have changed.

Mind you, we also could not have imagined Gilberto finishing like Thierry Henry, so I guess anything is possible.
