He said he was born in 83 and first got into at about 15/16 in a game at Maine Road against Leeds.

Just checked and it was 2000 - I was referring to the Leeds game not the spurs one.

Apologies!
Even though we got beat 2 0 , what a day , 3 things from that game Anthony in the white like boiler tracksuit , a Blackburn fan not happy when my mate shoved a shoved a Shearer pie in his face and City fans fighting each other , in fact 4 things Joey came across to chuck his shirt into the crowd and some guy chucked it straight back him .
The fucking joys
Yes mad days, fans ripping season tickets up on the pitch, "You're not fit to wear the shirt" and "What the fuck is going on?" Chants. Swales out protests, sack the board. Kind of fun to look back on but we have deserved every second of our time in the sun believe me.

I think that was the most poisonous atmosphere I've been in that day. Felt like we would never do anything again. Was chaos in Darwen afterwards.
He was in the MEN a little while back - complete with boiler suit (!) Respect to him for the way he’s rebuilt his life.
