A Meeting of Legends
I can feel the cold breeze brushing along my face, and the rumble of the crowd cheering. They are singing "Bata!Bata!"
I can see all of the Bata kit. I want to just jump in and play along with them. They are our boys! Playing against West Ham! Look, there's Bobby Moore! We see them practice sometimes, they are so fast. But we are in with a chance...
My feet are tingling with a rush of happiness as I feel every kick and tackle.
Everyone is here to watch, this is a big event. Look, all the West Ham girlfriends and wives are wearing Bata shoes - they've just had a tour of the factory. After the match, there will be a big dinner, with singing and magic entertainment. We'll dance and celebrate, whoever wins.
This is the best match I have ever been to.
