World Cup is upon us and wanted to share my story.
I was lucky enough to be given a ticket for the World Cup Final 2006 in Germany - (Zidane sent off France - Italy).
I went with about 7 mates and we decided on the eve of the match that we would place a wager between us (we were pissed at the time) to see who could wear the weirdest outfit.
We all descended on a outdoor market/car-boot style set up in the town centre and went about trying to find what we could find.
One guy bought a Tartan Suit and another bought a lederhosen and several other bought wigs and rubber rings however I won this wager with my effort.
I managed to find an Rod Hull style Emu suit so slipped my legs into that and made my way out - just then I saw a Bright Red Fez so I added that to the ensemble.
Then to top it off I saw a broken damaged Tuba (thats the huge fuck-off brass trumpet style horn thingy) and that just topped everything off.
Walking to the Stadium was hilarious - riding an Emu with Fez and Tuba created a lot of interest and just about everyone wanted a photo (I will try and find one to post). Our tickets were right behind the dug-out so I'm thinking about worldwide exposure for my efforts!
As I approach the stadium the security staff pulled me over - "you cant take that trumpet in" - "its a Tuba" well it doesn't matter it cant come in.
I left the Tuba with security and made do with Emu & Fez.
Thats the best £20 bet Ive ever won and was a lot more interesting than the match which was one of the drabbest cup finals ever played!
