Boyer, Phil My dad Pat was Phils cousin. He used to get us match day tickets if he was playing against Notts County. We went to Wembley to watch him in the League Cup final against Aston Villa and again when Southampton played against my team Nottingham Forest, I think I was the only one in our family group at Wembley that day that returned to Nottingham with a big smile.

Boyer, Phil I grew up in West Bridgford and played many times with Phil on our local park. Always was a cut above everyone else and destined for the top.
