A mob of Cambridge turned over Chelsea in the mid 80's.

Southend is my hometown team - back in the 90's a minibus of us stopped off in a pub in Cambridge on way back from match up north where landlady and husband were celebrating wedding anniversary - within an hour Cambridge supporters found we were in there and came in and wrecked the pub - we had to be escorted out of the town by the police - not a big mob, but right nasty sods.

Anyone remember [manager of popular beat combo New Order] Rob Gretton at City during the 70's and 80's?

I've heard him described as a 'Kippax Street Hooligan' in the past, but whether this was just Tony Wilson and friends exaggerating or accurate I've never been too sure.

Then there was the tale about him and other City fan Mike Pickering's first meeting. This was before Factory and Joy Division, so probably mid 70's. Gretton had got himself into some trouble at Forest, decided it would be best to make a quick exit. Jumped over a wall into someone's garden to hide, quickly followed by someone else who'd had the same idea and that was Pickering.

I remember Tony. Sorry Anthony Wilson so much when his team won the FA cup in 85 on Granada report s he said wasn't that better than beating Charlton then in 96 when his team won the fa cup and we were relegated on a music program he praised oasis but finished the sentence with " what a shame they are pathetic City fans " hopefully they have sky sports in hell and he is aware of our tremendous achievement s

I only know of two Cambridge fans and they’re both nutters that have been fighting at grounds for years. One is about 50 now and looks like Mick Hucknall but he’s a right handy ****.
