???????? There were 11 stabbings there that day and they were all Chelsea, oh and the geezer in the paper with a dart I his head

Stand corrected they sang "Babsy, Babsy give us a wave.

Can't tell you when, but that's the Shed after they corrugated ironed it off for fans safety because they couldn't afford to repair the floodlight.

Mate was one of them fifty, it was Hickmotts coach, we'd already had murders at Villas main pub and after the game on the motorway police bikes pulled us into the hard shoulder and escorted the coach to a police station where injured villa fans did an ID parade and less than half of us continued home, the rest got nicked and there was some silly sentences dished out, Colin Daniels got a chunk and my little pal Kevin Daniels (no relation) got a Borstal. Having said that, those arrested had a great few hours early in the nick singing Chelsea songs.......... The agg at that pub was one of the naughtiest tear ups I've ever seen at football, we were driving past when a Villa fan threw a pint mug at the coach and the Duckett twins jumped out of the fire window at the back and went for it alone, we had to force the driver to stop half a mile up the road and run back the pub, the glass front of the pub was completely taken out and there were bodies strewn on the pavement....... Do miss my misspent youth.

As they used to sing over Tottenham "we all agree, Harry The Dog is a poodle"

"Stick tight, shoulder to shoulder like Roman soldiers, all you littlens get to the back, one day it'll be your turn to stand at the front.... Put that cigarette out if you want to be a tasty geezer one day"........ PMSL I was one of the littlens with a fag in my mouth, remember thinking how old he was (mid twenties), we used to call him Daddy Harkins.

Can still smell the piss in them toilets at the back of the west stand

Always wondered what Johny Hollins was doing in this picture.

Plymouth away was an awful journey, firstly there was always the stop at Taunton where the engines on the special changed from electric to diesel which was bad enough, then they used to hold up the train from then on to make sure we never got there early enough to riot in the streets. If I remember correctly that was the season when little known to the fans on board John Sparrow was travelling in the train drivers cabin and had to jump on to the track to get an alternative mode of transport to the game, as he was playing that day, just as well because we wound up getting to the match not that shy of half time....... Great day all round though, Plymouths firm were always value for money but that didn't stop us owning both ends of the ground................ I was 14 and those days will be with me till my parting breath....... Eddie Macs red white and green army.
