People who are usually true experts on stuff, are aware they no nothing 😂😂. Or there’s so much more they can learn. Ask a real tech expert how much they know about computers, or a literal physicist how much they know about physics. They’ll usually say 4…5…7 at most? Because they’ve been humbled so many times in life.

More than just a derby match in this case - the F.A. cup final was (and still is) pretty much the single biggest domestic match in English football, and that year it happened to be between two of the biggest local rivals in the country. It was the (very rough) equivalent of an interviewer 50 years from now bumping into Travis Kelce and asking if he remembered where he was for Superbowl LIV!
