Joe never envisaged being the man in the back seat of the car, taken for a Sunday afternoon summer outing by his grand daughter and quite obnoxious boyfriend.
His old football team were mentioned on the radio.
"You used to play for them gramps, didn't you?"
"Yeah, before the First World War," piped in her partner, laughing at his inane wit.
As they went for a long walk he limped with walking stick into a bar, reflecting on 60,000 crowds and drinks with the lads later.
Oh, but now he will drink alone...with just his memories for company.
