I made it up. It's my first name and the initial letter of my surname.

Richard Madeley is a City fan! Probably Judy too.

Remember when play offs started it was 3 from (championship old div 2) and 1 from (prem old div 1).

I remember the first year. I lived in London and was going to see the Beastie Boys in Brixton. Charlton, (Div 1) were at home to Leeds the same day in the first game of a two-legged final. Everyone was talking about it kicking off in Brixton. I can't remember anything happening though.
