I don’t think I reported back about much of my London trip.  But I it should be known that for about 3 seconds of my life the great Maradona stood about one yard away from me as he entered Craven Cottage.  The boy and I even got to enter the gate immediately after him only to find out that we had extra special tickets to the match that day thanks to Mr. Eddie Johnson, and we sat in the actual cottage at the stadium with the Fulham wags and players that weren’t dressed that day. Too bad I haven’t been keeping up with my Kickette lately and didn’t know which players wives were sitting near us that game. Truly surreal.  Too bad Fulham lost to Man City 4-1 that day.
