And they also knew that ‘City’ would arrive at Wembley Central at 4:15, by which time they’d all vanished and headed up to Wembley Way; where the bullying of shirts and families commenced. Didn’t see any on the way down to Watford, didn’t see any afterwards either. Oh, and did he mention the Community shield 4 months later? They certainly weren’t bullying on Wembley Way then.

Day after Boxing Day 1976.
If anyone older than me has better information from this day I would love to here it.
I was 14 & went with my Uncle & his mate.
We were the first fans to use the new south stand that day ( replaced the cowshed)
I think this was the day we started taking serious thousands to most away games on a regular basis.
We queued for ages at both entrances but they locked the turnstiles as full.
Queued at the lowfields along with loads of other blues & again got locked out.
I didn’t know the significance at the time but we then did the same at the kop ( my uncle was a big bricklayer & didn’t give a toss ) but gave up half an hour after kick off when they locked that end as well.
The following year in the fa cup was a similar crowd with a similar number of blues there yet the next year again in the fa cup with massive city numbers the crowd was 10,000 less.
This was the pitch invasion one & the trip from & back to the train station still lives with me now.
Mickey Francis version of this days events in his book was absolutely bang on.

Or even getting a semi
If any younger City fans still haven't got an idea of what going to a match and football hooliganism was really like in the 70's, 80's and 90's, these graphic, and to an extent fantastic pictures, tell the real story.
Not been through all the pages of pictures. No seen any pictures of Maine Road. Page 5. Pictures of it kicking off in Manchester showing the old orange, brown and white Manchester buses. Pictures of it kicking off inside Boundary Park(Latics Lottery). Loads of great fashion/clobber pictures, etc.
This picture below sums up what football was like then. All young lads. As well as older men. There were hardly any women or families who went to the matches. Football was run by the Hooligans. That was until Thatcher and the Police crackdown after the trouble before, during, and after the Luton v Millwall game. The Government and the authorities had finally had enough of the English disease.
You can see from the pictures why hooliganism was know as the *English Disease*. And why English Hooligans were feared across Europe.'
From the 1960s onwards, the UK had a reputation worldwide for football hooliganism was often dubbed the English Disease. Since the 1980s and well into the 1990s the UK government has led a widescale crackdown on football related violence. While football hooliganism has been a growing concern in some other European countries in recent years, British football fans now tend to have a better reputation abroad. Although reports of British football hooliganism still surface, the instances now tend to occur at pre-arranged locations rather than at the matches themselves. Here we look at the internets finest collection of old school football hooligan pictures from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Photos Copyright of their respective owners.
