Tragic and to be honest I'm amazed a lot more people didn't die considering the violence dished out at times.

A poster on this site, actually.

Crazy.

I know it was a different time and hooliganism was a big draw for people. But jumping on someone's head like that is so unbelievably stupid and dangerous.

He could have ended up killing him and doing 20+ years in prison! For what?!

No he renounced violence and moved to Barking.

The forum was TPOM. I had a look for it a month or so back, but the link doesn’t work now.

Just searched for it and there was a large thread entitled 'Science Park 10 years on' but as you say the link no longer works.

Probably for the best. When he used to fight he didn't really Winalot.
