The recent UEFA Cup Final (currently rebranded as the Europa League) between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur was understandably a big fixture but took on greater significance to Andre and his family. His Dad was brought up in Bilbao and was entranced by watching the Busby Babes, just one year before the Munich Air Disaster claimed them - but Pepe was hooked. He moved to England in 1961 and met his future wife - an avid Tottenham fan and a cult of personality in her own right. Down the years, there were two fixtures each season that split their household down the middle.

On what would have been his Mum's birthday, this match will again take on a significance beyond what happens on the pitch and remind us of events while growing up, the characters involved and the fact that no matter who wins, you still support the team.
