Hooliganism and Violence Maine Road 80's/early 90's

26 years ago today , the massive scrap with police at Barnsley
How I didn't get arrested that day I'll never know. The old Bill were fuckin vile. We'd took a right firm, but loads on train and loads in coaches,busses etc. Around that ground before n after was a little bit feisty to say the least. I was coming out singing Margaret Thatcher songs and bang! One on the skull. Grabbed and threw in the back of a van. I'm thinking FFS, my Mrs of the time had give me an ultimatum, stop that shit or it's over, I was fucked.. or so I thought, 10 mins later the doors opened and was told to fuck off back to Manchester with another twattin around my head for good measure. I ran down this car park bit and managed to catch a few of our lot who were mooching with intent. It was like the warriors making our way back to minibus. The now EX Mrs never got to know about it :)
Edit: I think we lost :(

Lost 2 1, my mate tried attack Craig Hignett after 1st goal haha, alot of my mates were probably with you that day, all the young lads from Blackley
 
Some of you will know these lads.

They look like a very good current City firm.
