So if you’ve read my last piece you’ll know I went to watch the Giuseley v Crawley Town game, well with the score 2-0 to Crawley, we move at half-time to a lovely spot behind the goal thinking that Crawley would be certain to score a couple more goals, get a nice view of them, and who knows we might get on TV.

Well it worked, after Sergio Torres goal to make it 5-0 to Crawley ITV’s camera’s zoom in and you get a clear view of yours truely.

If any more proof is needed, you may notice I am holding a camera, so that’s me taking this picture.

A good day overall, I know it’s really sad to be happy over being on TV but I just find it amusing, so I apologise for a little bit of self indulgence.
