Where were you when this happened?

I was in a Chinese takeaway getting some chips when the news came on.

On Mars

Midweek Ceefax shift, knew it was bad when 303 had an article before the match had finished.

In bed probably, was 6 years old.

Listening to it on the radio playing subbuteo bedroom, above mum and dad’s shop.

10 years old, yellow snide Walkman with head hurting headphones and locked into 1152 with Tom tyrell and patrick C.

Listening to Jonathon pearce’s hysterical commentary at home.

Genuinely thought cantona had murdered someone by the nature of his ridiculous squealing

Also listening on the radio. Imagine listening to United on the radio now and not posting online about it when something like that happened.

I was in junior high, #@&%!

Also ceefax hunting, heard some rumours from dad's mates, but I was hard in the 303, ...

The United end. Didn't see any of it until the next day. I'd been drinking.

Was 15, doing my homework on the floor in the living room. My dad burst into the room as he'd been listening to it on a really bad long wave (I think it is called) radio reception in the kitchen and blurted out "Jaysus, Cantona's after killing somebody in the crowd". Straight to Ceefax 302 and the BBC news for the OUTRAGE afterwards.

Me dad had died 3 days earlier so was sorting a few things out

Do recall watching the highlights though, a welcome distraction

Listened to it on GMR.

Des didn't look to impressed when Sportsnight started either.
