Wasn’t orient the opening game in div 2?
Sunderland game had easily biggest gate on the day. 63500 full cap? Wouldn’t believe it was a div 2 game. Stret on full volume, big away following, they had some decent players, Billy Hughes, Tueart, Watson, Montgomery etc. cracking game. |

“We’ll be back we’ll be back we’ll be back We’ll be back we’ll be back we’ll be back back back” Don’t make em like that anymore Edit: the rampage at venues like orient, soton etc was largely so called cockney reds who you’d never see at Leeds , Newcastle, Liverpool or the derby. Remember at Luton queueing up for a burger for £#%&!ing ages and just as I got near to being served, a bunch of cockney scrotes attacked the stall and made off with cash hot dogs, burgers etc. poor vendor just packed up and took what they’d left him. I got my hot dog though, after @#%&!ting this @#%&! who thought he’d pulled off the great train robbery. |

In the meantime, here's some more old stuff |

79 semi at Maine Rd. Dodgy penalty for Liverpool surprise. Barely touched dalglish... only surprise was he didn’t throw himself on the floor. Protected species. Several fouls would’ve seen red today. Souness on McIlroy, (didn’t even get a mention) Hansen on McQueen... and that was just the first half. Remember “discussing” with dippers afterwards them complaining it wasn’t a good football match because we didn’t stand around admiring them.... they weren’t shy putting their foot in though.
£#%&!ing glad we stuffed em at Goodison in the replay. Epic days. Jimmy Greenhoff, what a class playoh. Sexton got some stick but the football wasn’t exactly Moyes or lvg. Probably suffered after Docs flamboyant sides and personality. Some characters in that team though. Plenty of action in Rusholme after. |

I was so shocked at being rumbled that I didn't think to deny it on the spot. on another occasion, another school trip I'd gone to a game in London (arsenal I think it was) and thought id not get back till sunday afternoon.....but I got a lift back with some reds and I was back before midnight....so I had to sneak into the garage and sleep in there because I couldn't go back into the house bloody freezing it was. |
