How
to support your club and stay happily married for over 30 years!
In
August 1982, when Mrs Reckless and I were still courting, I rang Lena
from work one Friday morning and told her that Barnet were miles away
that Saturday and instead of going I was taking her down to Weymouth
that evening for the weekend where some dear friends owned a Hotel on
the front called The Concorde. She was thrilled and told me she loved
me and all that, putting her before an away game for once, she was
all over me like a rash too.

I
picked her up about 5 and we drove down in time to have dinner and
hit a nightclub or two and go dancing with Paula and Bunny the
hoteliers – its what people did then!. We got up early on the
Saturday and were strolling down the big open promenade when she said
“Look over there Hun there is a chap with what looks like a Barnet
scarf on!” “Oh yeah I said, fancy a coffee?”. Five minutes
later sitting outside the coffee bar she said “Hey there's another
one!” “That is strange” I said. Two minutes later a couple of
chaps came over and said “Alright Reckless you in the club bar
before the game!” Penny dropped! I got away with it as she went
shopping in Dorchester and I saw Weymouth 1-3 Barnet goals courtesy
of Stewart Atkins 2 and Edwin Stein.
There
wasn't too much payback as we are still married nearly 31 years later............that is how you do it.
