Not hard to spot despite his hair. He's the only Geordie at Wembley with an England shirt on instead of a NUFC shirt. Oh dear. Actually, I've got a pic below. That picture of Spurs away in the FA Cup '87 brought shivers down my spine, a real scary day that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a lot of people who I've heard talk about it say it was scary but it was only after Hillsborough that people realised just how bad it could've been.

Wasn't Bob, it was another lad am tempted to say sweetleftpeg but not sure. I was 17 and id been to a few Yorkshire games and merseyside/Manchester etc but I think a day trip to London was a bit more than my folks were prepared to allow, thank fuck, but as you say Hillsborough put it in its real context. Think some plod had the sense to open a gate into the next paddock at WHO. Was at Hillsborough 4 months before the disaster the boxing day game season we went down. Hadn't been again till last season. It looks exactly the fuckin same, my mate said with all the re developments of grounds in the last 30 years why has that miserable piece of concrete shit survived?

Aye, it's weird how Hillsborough is even still standing let alone so similar in appearance to how it was back then. And it wouldn't have been SLP as he's a little bit younger than me and I would've only been about 12 back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillsborough in the 80's the year Steve Carney ( RIP ) got sent off was terrible as well, the little tunnel to go in and out of in the leaping lane end was always a death trap. I remember being lifted and carried out in the rush terrified in case i hit the ground. Not nice at all. But Spurs in 87 was for me the most frightening, i can't remember if i went by National Express or Monty's Ugly bus that day but everyone on the bus said it was scary as fuck and had similar stories to tell . I've never been so happy to get out a ground in my life, it wasn't the last away match i went to but it was one of the reasons i eventually stopped going away soon after it.

I heard a few fans got a few whacks from a few police truncheons as well when they were trying to get over the fence to the next paddock to avoid squashing.

I listened on the radio and heard Warren Mitchell, (Alf Garnett) get interviewed at HT and being staggered by our support. (He was a Spurs fan unlike his alter ego).

Alex 35063 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) He was on Wogan once and said he was Spurs. He was on just after they'd beat Liverpool with Waddle getting the only goal of the game iirc. Claimed it was because the game wasn't on a Saturday (taking the piss - Jewish Sabbath). I remember the goal actually, Waddle dummied then took it on his other foot and a scuffed shot bobbled into the corner. Funny the things you remember although there obviously weren't that many live games on TV back then. Was on The Big Match probably Edit: Just looked it up and the Newcastle / Spurs cup match and the Spurs / Liverpool match were only about a month apart by coincidence Edited December 1, 2017 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42387 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Bugger me! I had that same strip, got it for Christmas in 1973, and I think I wore it to my first game, which would’ve been before this. Do I win £5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42387 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Aye, in the big concrete slide park. That thing (the slide) was fucking lethal. Edit; I think it might still be there. The concrete pitches and walls it was on definitely are.
