This was the closing comment by the ITV commentator when Histon beat Leeds in the FA Cup a few days ago... an amazing feat, and something I thought deserved a mention!
As you can imagine (Jen, I am sure you can) - Mark has been in histon overdrive since we got back from holiday (gawd bless him), and he himself has made several appearances on TV, much to the delight of the younger members of our families (Henry and Katie were amazed to see Uncle Piggy on TV), the extreme amusment of my cousin Mark, and to the embarrassment of me! heh... In fact, the night before the match he was quite clearly to be seen lurking behind the manager when the BBC did a live link to our local pub, when he should have been home helping me to prepare for my parents to arrive the same evening! I was tempted to stick a couple of curlers in my fringe, and go down there with my rolling pin in my hand! ;-)
Anyway - well done Histon! We have well and truly been put on the football map - a real 'fairytale' story which you always hope for during the FA Cup. Its been a great money spinner for the club - and has really boosted the village! Roll on Swansea at home on the 3rd January!

Aaah Swansea. Beaten by my very own Bognor Regis 'rocks' in the third round of the FA Cup circa 1984. Beat them again for me! (incidentally Bognor went on to get beaten by Reading in the 4th round, a town I have hated ever since, loyal person I am!)
