New Spurs blog post: Where it all started - Leverkusen

[ohwhenthespurs]

Hello all,
Some of you may have followed my series of Spurs travel blogs, about trips away to Europe on my site Small Football World. If so, thanks for reading. I'm slowly catching up with all the old trips I'm yet to write up, before I hopefully embark on some new ones this season, so as we look forward to tomorrow's game in Moldova, why not have a butchers at this terrible tale of my first European away trip with Spurs - to Leverkusen in 2006. Anyone else on here go?
Where it all began: Leverkusen

One question: Why didn't Phil get his end away?

Good question. I'll email him and ask. I suspect he was too pissed, or the ogre in question ultimately proved too forboding.

Phil sounds like the ideal away day travel partner!

Couldn't get a ticket out there

Remember watching the game in a fantastic bar which was 2 tiered and packed full of Yids. Can't remember if we were in Cologne or Dusseldorf though! Was a great night even though I don't know where the bloody hell we were..

Update: Phil can't remember what happened with the German girl, but thinks he may have gone to get food, and then just got a taxi back to the hoetl. She rang him sporadically from time to time, about midnight after she finished work in a bar, and in the end it really pissed him off and he told her not to ring again. He hasn't heard from her since.

Yeah sure. You buying?

Yep I was there. Miserable day as it rained for most of the day but I had a brilliant time at the Christmas Markets. The fresh Crepes they were making smothered in Nutella was

Nice stadium and better still they had heaters in the roof that kept us warm and helped me dry off. Berba scored the winner and was muted in his celebration. I love Euo aways in Germany

Wait. Are you Kristof?

From those who have met me will confirm my apperance could not be further from what you described Kristof as.

However those same people may also confirm that due my to social tendancies, i would struggle to convert to Islam...you've been warned.

Ah I seeee! You've identified me as a potential fellow borderline alcoholic and think we'd get on? Probably right, ha ha.

Yeah I was there. Turned up without a ticket, none outside (or silly prices). Ten mins to kick off and I was just about to leave to find a pub when some German guy heard me calling for tickets and just ushered me in. Turns out his son had fallen ill so couldn't make the game; he asked his dad to give the ticket to a spurs fan. Not only did the German dad refuse my offer of money or beer, he actually bought me a bratwurst and a pint! Poor bloke deserved some better Karma than watching Berba return and score the winner. Great trip, and i'll never forget how kind the German bloke was.

Ah, those crazy, fun loving loveable Germans!
