Don't know how that slipped in ? Still, in keeping with our amatorial status as an organisation, I guess! :wink:

Cheers Marco! I feel that way as well and hope others do too!

Maybe that's it Mark - maybe chopping it off has drained your KO2 powers?

"Grow the pony and the goals will come" ala Field of Dreams!!! :lol:

I was priveledged to have watched a version of this 2 weeks ago (slightly unfinished) and when I watch it now I still get the same feeling...emotion.

This video is the ultimate tribute to the KOA in my humble opinion and it sums up perfectly what is so great about it.

Its great that Gaz has catalogued the tournies from years gone by and gave it the dignity and celebration that this place deserves.

Christmas has come early! (and mark my words, if I do another 'The Aftertouch' this is going in as a 'aftertouch moment!)

Also, transforming Born in the USA to Born in the KOA is so f*cking great!!! ...and giving Dino Dini the respect he deserves has paid dividends - to get him to perform for you is simply classic!

As you say Gaz, your passion is great for Kick Off and arise my friend, for Steve Camber is welcoming you into the Kick Off Association Heroes party!

Cheers for the kind words, bud

Even though I wasn't around for most of the tourneys photographed, it was great fun putting them all together. My own limited tourney experience gives me a very good idea of what it must have been like!

I must thank you, Steve, for all your technical wizardry in using the applications (this is only my second video) and with crunching the original 700+ MB masterfile to get it squeezed onto youtube. It might be a cliche but its true - I couldn't have done it without your help mate!

And, yeah, I still can't quite believe that Dino did the biz for us! :shock:

I'm thrilled and honoured about though this, and part of me suspects that's exactly what Mr Dini thinks of the KOA!
