I was living in Sutton, not far from Croydon and there was a real hatred of United at the time. I was doing my accountancy exams and listening to the game In the 2ns bedroom and I remember freaking out when JP called it. Seem to recall speaking to Mobboss too about it that night - his first wife was tight with a board member and everyone was trying to find out what was going on. |

That and robot wars is my abiding memory of that pompous twerp, Pearce. I loved that era. We were utterly despised and everything we did felt like a giant £#%&! you to the rest of the footballing world. I’ve never seen greater levels of high-horse sanctimonious drivel than the days and weeks following that. And they loved it. They had been DYING for him to do something like that for years. Of course, with hindsight, it’s viewed very differently. That BBC premier league doc stopped just sort of saying that the racist little fart got what he deserved Quote:

I was listening to it “And Eric canona… he’s punched…. He’s kicked a fan…” You could tell he hadn’t a clue what was going on, halcyon days |

Tom used to get his hair cut in my barbers. One day I went in when he was waiting for a chop. Had a nice chin wag and I told him I had his United in Europe book. He said if I left it in the shop he would sign it for me next time he was in. He was true to his word. Top red was Tom Ripip. |
