The first game I saw live was the European Cup semi-final against Barcelona. To be honest, I was 6 and not very interested, but I remember my dad harping on about Trevor Cherry and someone called Johan Cruyff. Cherry was always there after that. He was a left back or a centre back, even a midfield player. He played 27 times for England and managed to get sent off in a friendly. For some reason, my abiding memory is not his shackling of Cruyff but that late goal against Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup in 1977.
