Seb's achievements tend to overshadow those of his elder brother. Saturday will be Ollie's 720th consecutive game which is also phenomenal, Ollie last missed a game in 1998!
What I'd like to know, is whether Seb & Ollie ever have an inclination not to go ? :-)
Every game, however Seb knows if he misses a game, Ollie will catch him and Ollie knows if misses a game, he'll never be in a position to overtake Seb if he misses a game.
Anyone at Turf Moor last season remember Seb singing 'Red Army", whilst 3-0 down over and over on his own for a good 10 minutes before everyone joined in. I thought Charlton finally broke him that day!
Both of them are absolute legends... Would love to be able to do it myself but know I never could (time / commitments).
I know Seb got the award but has it ever been acknowledged in the Programme or anything, surely an award should be presented should he make 1000....
If he gets to 1000 consecutive matches , i reckon they should let him pick the team, thats Man United away by my reckoning , we're going to get thumped anyway, so what the heck!
I always rate Seb and Ollie for their unconditional support of this club.
Even if I had the money and time to travel to every game I'd of found it hard to stick it out after some of the shite we've been served up. So fair play to them for that.

The new fan can't do the worm, but he can dress up as a Mexican wrestler.
Absolute loon but an incredible achievement.

I take it the punishment of watching us so much has done a 360 turn on itself to start making it a good feeling.
I had an away season ticket for two years whilst we were in the premiership and in the end was utterly sick of it.
