It’s a Tuesday. The radio’s on with The Pet Shop Boys latest offering “Heart” playing on tight rotation. It’s been number one for three weeks. That lunchtime, Margaret Thatcher stands up at Prime Minister's Questions and responds to Neil Kinnock on issues of the day such as implementing the Poll Tax in Scotland, the role privatisation could play in the NHS and the implications of Israel's actions in occupied territories in response to a Palestinian uprising. This is the week that the USSR pledges to withdraw militarily from Afghanistan. This is the year in which the Iran/Iraq war staggers to a close. These are the dark ages for Fulham adrift in the third tier of English football, edging towards mid table obscurity.
And you were born.
A dark time for the world while light was first reaching my newborn eyes...
