I Kinda was the biggest Take That fan EVER!!!!
I saw them at Rollers in Bletchley before anyone new who they were. The back of my head and my ruck sack appear on the Take That and Party video, waiting outside some random hotel for them. Met them at Heathrow, while my folks were fawning over Pat Jennings (like who??) Saw them at Wembley. Waited outside TV centre every time they were on Going Live, owned every Smash Hits, Look In and 'unofficial magazine' that ever existed. I knew all their Birthdays (13th Feb '74 - Robbie)
I was gonna marry Robbie but it all went hideously wrong when he went through the whole bonkers phase. But I still loved him and stood by him through it all, till I went through the whole growing up stage and got a husband, kids and mortgage.
Then for my Birthday my sister bought me Take That tickets for 18th June, at Manchester City Stadium!!!! Their home town!!! I was like a teenager again, all the years just melted away and I was there, back at Smash Hits Poll Winners '92 (I was there, where were you!) I screamed like a 14 year old (surrounded by lots of other 20 something women) It was the best night of my life, I was a complete Gary convert, why hadn't I noticed this man 14 years earlier?!!! My girls who were there with me had never been Thatters, had never cut grass from Robbies Mums garden, as I had, never got the train at 5am to get to TV centre, never joined the fan club, never scoured dodgy record shops for the imports (getting any Take That song on an orange tape was the be all and end all!!) To cut a long story kinda shorter, I LOVE GARY, HOWARD, MARK and JASON (but am not keen on Robbie as he obviously forgot 'Never Forget') Love you all, especially those who remember them the first time round, and spebt too much money and far too much time chasing them up and down the country. Now we are all thirtyish and keeping the dream alive!!!!
