Excellent! I used to retain Újpesti Dózsa (I’ve seen alternative spellings) in my mind as a potential quiz question answer. Primarily because they lost to Newcastle in the 1969 final of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup - the forerunner of the UEFA Cup and then the Europa League. This was Newcastle’s last major trophy (not that we can shout, of course). Alas I am old enough to remember the fairs cup, weren’t Leeds the last winners before it changed to the UEFA Cup? Wolves got to a final as well I think!! I loved watching the British teams in Europe when I was a kid,,,,,,,while palace were slugging it out with the likes of Mansfield and Wrexham Edited by monkey (05 Oct 2018 3.31pm)

Leeds won the 1971 Fairs Cup final. They beat Juventus on away goals after a 3-3 aggregate scoreline. The first UEFA Cup final, in 1972, was Wolves and Spurs. You and I must be brothers from another mother, Monkey, because I too used to love the old European action in those days, although in live terms it tended to be on the radio. I actually go as far back as Celtic winning the European cup in 1967, and I think I’m the only person outside Glasgow - apart from you and Willo of course - who remembers Celtic also being runners-up in 1970 when they were beaten by Feyenoord. In the semi-final they played Leeds United, and I will never forget listening to the 2nd leg at Hampden Park on the radio. The noise from the massive crowd was so loud, you could barely hear the commentary from (I think) Peter Jones. Other distinct memories are from Derby County’s forays in to Europe - particularly when they reached the semi-final of the European Cup in 1973; the match against Juventus referred to in the book and movie ‘The Damned United’.

Indeed we must be bruv ‘Sportsnight’ on the bbc mid-week always had highlights of our teams in Europe, I think it was only the finals live back then!!

You should always have things to look forward to. Indy500 (1994) I'd love to see a professional boxing match at ringside. Just to experience the brutality. And maybe an MMA fight

I’ve thought of another one today, I’d like to see Palace play Bromley in a competitive game before I’m in my box. This would have to be the 3rd round of the FA Cup at the moment.

I’d love to attend the Prix de L’arc de Triomphe at Longchamps. My wife offered to take me for my 60th birthday but typically they moved it to Chantilly in 2016 and it wouldn’t have been the same. Also I’ve always loved Baseball and would love to attend a live MLB game.
