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

[Didsbury Dave]

We beat Sunderland on penalties in an earlier round
Scored a late one in the semi to beat Hull
Don’t recall penalties

Yeah, that might have been the quarters. God we were so desperate for anything back then. The only game I remember going to in that competition was Ipswich on a Saturday afternoon and it was the most empty I’d seen Maine Road for a first team game. 10 or 11k from memory.

Not the 90s more the 10s but there was an incident with 4 scousers and myself when sane scored after they criticised my coat waking back into town a few years ago. @gordondaviesmoustache witnessed this. A huge event in our football hooligan history.

I can confirm I witnessed this disgusting violation and that you only cried for ten minutes.

What kind of coat draws abuse from strangers?

At the FMC final, against Chelsea, there was a really big firm of City, all black lads, as Chelsea came round our end before KO, I joined in with them, partly for my own protection, but as a young lad of 19 was also up for it and game, the Chelsea firm which was huge were all mouth, they didn't want to know against these lads.
