[QUOTE="Soakingscotsman, post: 25703, member: 8555"] For me, it was my best friends older sister. It was the early 90s and I was around 11, and I went to visit my friend. I took my bike round the back of his house and found his sister there wearing the Glasgow Rangers football kit, a glorious mix of shiny blue and white gear, while practicing her shots (back in those days VERY few girls played football). I suddenly felt something I’d never felt before, and that image is imprinted in my mind.. I can remember every little detail.. how her hair looked, the patch of mud on her shorts, the purple laces on her boots.. that moment shaped so much of my wants and desires in life. She asked me if I could help her with her goal keeping by kicking a few shots, but as I was always awful at football so I declined and ran inside to see my friend. What an idiot I was. That said I did get to see her wear that and other similar kits over the following years, but it never had quite the same impact that first moment did. I bumped into her a couple of years ago at a supermarket when I’d went home for a visit. She really hasn’t aged much at all.. looked like she’s in her mid 20s. I bet she coulda still fitted into the kit too if she still had it! [/QUOTE]
