If I remember right he was studying at Bristol Uni while playing for us. I'm guessing he was being paid peanuts playing for us, a couple years after going bust. So as a post graduate from Bristol could probably earn more in the real world. would love to know what happened to him and if he ever played football for anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minibus full of us listening to it on the radio on the way home after the game. I was the only city fan on there. When hurst scored I went mental, rest of them jumped on me 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting just a tad worried and tried to move as it was getting tighter and tighter but just couldn't get out of the crush. Eventually it sorted itself out a bit. And yes the Tom Ritchie moment - absolute farce. We deserved to win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss gigs & music events as much as anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 On 10/12/2020 at 22:55, Lew-T said: As a ‘yoof’ I find it interesting that all this shenanigans of taking teams home ends and being segregated started in the 60s. But only a few years before fans would mix and back then it was more of family outing, depending who was at home on that Saturday. The culture seemed to change quickly in a short space of time. What happened? My guess, as a kid who started going in 1968, was football fans following the mods and rockers gang culture. No segregation led to mass influxes of away fans into home ends, as in my first ever away game in about 1971 spent on the Town End at Swindon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
