thebrokendoll 8610 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 apologies if already posted elsewhere, but... came at the time I started to really 'get' football as opposed to just being taken along to matches with the old man. my first genuine newcastle hero, fucking idolised him, loved singing his songs and can remember with absolute clarity the fucking pandemonium and surges down the leazes end terrace when he scored. supermac, 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the yellow fences vividly as a kid 11 years old. me old man didn't approve of sweary songs or boot boys at the time so he'd take me in the gallowgate and put me at the front while he moved further back. course the leazes was like a magnet for the hardest kid in the first year at senior school whose feet had just grown big enough for his first pair of doctor martens. I'd climb over all the barriers before kick off to get in to the leazes once he'd gone and then have to work me way back before the final whistle. happy days! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 31578 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 My last season standing was 93-94 but it was in the milburn paddocks near the gallowgate so not the best place to be, season before was amazing, usually in the corner. So I've had a decade of terrace football, then thirty years of football in an all seater stadium, (when I could go, for different reasons). The first decade wasn't always pretty, football was at it's lowest ebb but that was far more 'real' and had far more in common with the previous thirty years than the thirty years that came after it. Not saying things wouldn't or didn't need to move on but there's no question in my mind that I felt I had more in common with the people around me then than I do now by a country mile. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( The look of concern on Sheepskin Steve’s face is the moment he’s realised he’s in the Gallowgate, and not with his fellow Manure fans in the away section.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6227 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I’m sure you probably know this but Denmark didn’t even qualify for Euro 92. They were given a place at the last minute after Yugoslavia were kicked out after the break up of their country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they won it without one of the best players in the world at that time, Michael Laudrup, because he’d fallen out with the manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 31578 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 There's an old reel of us playing Liverpool I think, turn of the 20th century and it must be one of the only photos/videos of the stand that preceded the West Stand. I'll see if I can find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing clip, I took a screenshot of the mystery stand… … something caught my eye, though, in what looks like the press balcony… Sir Leopold Ryder Esq.
