Remember getting off the special that day to be met by what seemed like a hundred or so very pissed up Rangers fans offering us a wee swig of their whisky . While another lot were busy launching a skinhead through a chippy window . Managed to get myself nicked after the match while passing the away end on the way back to the station . Spent the night in a cell with a Chelsea lad and a utd fan from Prestwich who had gone with his city mates . apparently Chelsea had travelled over for a bit of agro believe it or not ! I was eventually released in the early hours and managed to hitch back home with the utd lad would reckoned City were mad ! After 5 return visits to court i was finally aquitted !Remember the 'running battles' in the streets that day. Dont remember much about Peterbrough as a town or the match itself, other than the celebrations when Booth scored at the ' jam packed 'away end (weren't as bothered about Health and Safety in those days obviously!).
Caught some highlights on YouTube recently, we didn't look particularly over convincing that day to be fair (maybe mindful of the recent Shrewsbury and Halifax debacles!)
Not one of my brothers favourite away games i wouldn't have thought ,as someone pissed down the back of his leg at Half time
(at least people make it to the sink now!)
