As I said earlier,I was with my Dad who was 47 at the time ( I was almost 18).I must have been within feet of you.
There were old blokes trying to get to us!
Changed a few years later, we were dragging them over the wall, was it the old K stand? My first derby(while on the subject) Maine road, Coppell was playing for them. City fan stark naked in the United end getting chased by coppers. Tell a lie, he had a City scalf and a bobble hat. They were tryin to rob his stuff as he got marched off. Funny as fuck at the time.As I said earlier,I was with my Dad who was 47 at the time ( I was almost 18).
Our seats were midway up the rows of seats,so I couldn't really judge the ages of the rags climbing the wall, I just saw that they were getting punched and pushed back down into the standing enclosure.
LOL so true but it makes the occasion even better if that was possible, the look on Mr Laws face when he put the ball in the back of the net will live with me to my dying day, the look of glee on Mr Doyle's face was even better!!Always makes me smile just how defensive some United fans get about this. “Law never relegated us, we would’ve gone down anyway!”, like that’s some badge of honour.
Big Flame?He did it. His face told you so. Mathematically, maybe not - but he did it. As Big Flame later put it, guilty feet ain’t got no rhythm.
It was an unreal atmosphere. I felt detached as if I was watching a film. I was euphoric inside. I was a teenager and went to the match with a group of pals mostly Blues but with two Reds. We split up in the ground and ended up all over the place. It was scary outside though.I must have been within feet of you.

Bye Bye United Baby Goodbye.Like a fuckin Bay City Rollers concert. They still dress like that now. We sent them down, simple.
Well thats not what Gerald Sinstadt and Brian Moore from the Big Match are saying here...
25 mins of pure joy from 1974 -complete with a rousing rendition from the rags of YNWA right at the end!
hope you enjoy it
