I remember talking to a good mate of mine who used to like a bit of fisticuffs on a match day in late 70's to mid 80's. I think I remember him saying we took Chelsea on London bridge, I may be wrong. Although I was chatting to a Chelsea fan a few years ago who said City gave it them proper, never mentioned where though. I've never gone to games looking for agro. My mate was one of about 35 or so who got nicked at Notts County away. He went down for 15 months, well known amongst our former Cool Cats n' Govoners.
Still nuts nowadays and he's in his early 50's!
Nearly got us a good hiding a few years ago when watching OT Derby, pub was full of rags. I think we may if been only blues in there. After about 8 pints or so of cider, I could see the cogs in his head going around. His nickname is nightmare for a reason. All of a sudden he blurted "right you rag c***s, any one of you says a bad word about City, I'll take the f*ckin' lot of you!" I put my arm arm around him and told him to STFU sharpish.
20 odd year old rags against a couple of middle aged blues would of been no contest, but he's still nuts, especially on derby days.
Glad that football violence is rare nowadays, no place for it at all in today's society IMO.
I went up in the stand facing the dugouts at the swamp(bacon face stand?)when Rosler chipped Shmeichel in the FACup,nearly got killed.
Know a lad (rag) who was one of their top boys at the time,sorted it for me.
