In 1996 when Graeme Souness was manager of Galatasaray he nearly caused a riot when at the end of the game (his team had got a late winner) he got a large Galatasaray flag and stuck it in their centre circle as missiles rained down around him). He was sacked as there are apparently political undertones to planting a flag in such a way due to some historical event and he was accused of knowing about this.

What's this one Stevie?

I think Chez is the only one who will recognise it. Of every image I've ever viewed this is my favourite in all my life.

 

No one knows who he is, but he is known by hundreds of thousands of fans all over the country. It's commonly accepted that he is Geordie, don't ask me why, it just is. This picture is from the Vieux Port in Marseilles where one of the biggest football related riots in last 20 years happened when England played Tunisia in 1998. What makes him so special is, he's how cool he is. Near enough World War Three is going on around him, people have been stabbed, arabs are going around on motorbikes with knives, England fans are around ready to batter anything that moves, there's not so much a police presence as a huge war battalion a matter of yards away from him, there's choking tear gas all everywhere, people running for their lives, does Greenshirtmush care? DOES HE FUCK!!! All he's interested in is his two pints, fuck the french, fuck the Tunisians, fuck the police, there's beer to be drunk. Absolute English legend, alongside Bobby Moore in my eyes.

 

The most iconic photo of English football fans ever imo.

Merged. Have left it in General Chat as that's where most people are likely to view it..

 

Shrewd craig, very shrewd indeed. I wonder if I'm the only one who picked up on what you done.
