Interesting how low the crowds got at Football during the 80’s, started to turn after Italia 90, then ramped right up after Euro 96

Funny game that one, watched the game from near the front of the shed for some reason, and blame the view for my lack of knowledge of the game, if I remember we had two injuries in first half, think it was Kerry Dixon and Colin Lee, so had to play whole second half with 10 men, I didn’t have a clue we had 10 men until I got home to await the piss  take from all the armchair Liverpool fans, it was then I was told we had 10 men, I couldn’t blame it on the beer either as was only 16!!
