Great article on BBC Sport about the Prof. Another good reason to believe him over anything fluffer Johnson tells you.
Having attended hundreds of games at York Street, Prof Van-Tam was determined to secure a piece of history when Boston left their old ground in 2020 for the sparkling new Jakemans Community Stadium, which has been built to Football League standard.
"I've had a small extension built on the family home which serves as our sports bar," he adds. "It has a little bar and a 65-inch telly specifically for watching sport. It's the room where all my signed Boston United shirts and match balls are.
"What I really wanted was a turnstile from York Street to put in the doorway so you clicked through it to get to the sport.
"But they weren't for sale and some members of the family were having absolutely none of it in any case.
"But I did manage to get a Sports Bar sign from outside the ground in a charity auction. That is now inside my sports bar above the telly. It's a piece of York Street in my house."
