We WERE there whe

Coming from North London I rarely missed a Spurs game. At one in the mid eighties I think, I was proud to start a few songs with the whole of the packed Park lane joining in.I reckon I was a bit high on puff at the time because I recall smoking furiously parked up hours before the game, parked in White Hart lane.So many memories of this fixture.I think in 78 when Ardiles and Ricky Villa made their debuts, I spotted myself the next day on "the big match" in the background walking across the half way line just as the match was kicking off.I was turfed in head first into the park lane, amazing I was not hurt.I had hassled coppers up the paxton along with a load of y*ds to get in the section next to the park lane but instead of joining the y*ds there I made a last minute beeline to join my fans.Amazing what libs you used to get away with than.People would not believe this now.Another game, when I think we one 6-1 and Chelsea fans were banned as one side of the ground was being built.I managed to get a ticket from an ex girlfriends boss. I got a bit tanked up because I foolishly did not feel I had the right to remain quiet if we scored but needed a bit of Dutch courage.I jumped up for the first 4 goals but heard a few other Chelsea fans scattered around getting hit so I finally kept quiet for the last 2 goals.I was wearing a green diamond jumper of some sort which was all the rage at the time so not even inconspicuous.It was hilarious to hear from my girlfriend that her boss got it in the ear for the rest of the season for giving his season ticket to me.3 other scary times I can recall One of nearly getting crushed at seven sisters waiting for a train,I think our mob were tooled up on an incoming train I believe and the massed ranks on the platform stampeded there way out of the station before my very eyes..I was stopping a young Spurs fan with his dad getting crushed,u sing recovery last ounce of my strength, I recall. I had another time where a big y*d  was threatening to kill any Chelsea fans he sussed  walking all the way down to seven sisters.I could not seem to walk away from where he walking despite trying my best to do so.Another time a mob of there's met us scarfers walking out of the away end and steamed into anyone in their paths.My funniest time was bringing my red,white and green scarf into the park lane packed with 25,000 man u fans, supporting them against Spurs, thinking my scarf would "blend in" and look a "bit" like theirs (lol) You look back now and wonder how you got away with these strokes.I do recall definitely getting a few funny looks that day though!
