Good Chance!!Probably same tube I was on! Stopped in the tunnel due to fighting on the platforms at Baker Street!
Haha no but I do remember the same fella ringing up the James Whales show on TV a couple of years later, to tell the lads who nicked his cart and raced it round the square that he had the last laugh because he’d pissed in the onions!Did he charge you extra
Don't suppose you also were down there when England played the Dutch in a friendly, can't remember the year but around the same time. The story was that the Dutch were bringing thousands and it was going to go off big time, it seemed like just about every club turned out a mob, was a midweek night game. I went down without a ticket as they were supposed to be on sale on day of the game, no chance, police wouldn't let Wembley sell them. Saw Plymouth and Derby going at it in Trafalgar Square during the afternoon, about 100 a side.We were heavily outnumbered that day. Thought our mini bus was going over at one point. The worst I’ve seen trouble wise had nothing to do with City. It was England v Scotland at Wembley in 88. My god. It was like being in the Warriors movie making our way back to where we lived!
Sad news that, RIP Blue.Just read on Twitter that Bulldog who has been mentioned in this thread a few times has sadly died RIP
To be honest the Scotland game put me off England games. I was going to go to Euro 88 but changed my mind !Don't suppose you also were down there when England played the Dutch in a friendly, can't remember the year but around the same time.

Anyway the cloggies didn't turn up, 2 double decker busses brought them in and there were literally thousands of nutters wanting to rip them to shreds, coppers had their hands full protecting just 2 busses.
I did end up getting after about 15mins play when the turnstiles were stormed, police just gave up and ordered the exit gates to be opened, everyone just piled in.
Never knew him but remembered him from awaydays, ripJust read on Twitter that Bulldog who has been mentioned in this thread a few times has sadly died RIP
Remember an England , Wales game at OT Stoke and Cardiff battling all over town. Wales home games back in the eighties saw mass Cardiff , Swansea battles. Miss the mad bad old days but I am far too old for all that now and am glad match day is much more peaceful.To be honest the Scotland game put me off England games. I was going to go to Euro 88 but changed my mind !
