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

Could never stick that Anthony Wilson , arrogant tw@t .... the guy was full of himself.

H'e a bit like that other arrogant and smug cretin, Terry Christian .... what a clueless rag prick he is!

I heard an interview with Steve Coogan where he said someone said to him 'Manchester's number 1 arrogant prick played by Manchester's number 2 arrogant prick' about his role playing Tony Wilson in 24hr Party People' :)

Yep, and i was on a bus on Portland Steet in the city centre about 6 o'clock , and there was City and Chelsea fans fighting in the middle of the main road there!

Yes, it had kicked off like fuck in the Cyprus Tavern ... that was a really bad evening out in town !! ...

I remember when Wilson got chased out of The Rusholme Chippy. Someone came in The Clarence and said they had just seen him go in. So a few of us went across and gave him some verbal about some snide comment he had made about City. There was no threatening or in his face stuff and no time was anyone going to attack him but he did one and left his Chips.

Would regard Wilson as s typical Rag gob shite indulging in bants were he not a Granada presenter. Taking the piss out of City when we lost to a team from another region was not on, always hoped some blues would shut him up.

Used to live in bullrings in Hulme as a kid and the Russell Club was directly behind us. One day we spotted Tony Wilson giving a load of Suits a tour of the club and then taking them to the local shops via a walkway under the flats. Knowing they were likely to come back the same way me and my mates raided our fridges for eggs and lay in wait on the top floor. You should have seen them run.

Aaah , i was on John Nash form 1969-1979 .... good times , we used to play footie on the library car park, and on Birley High School ... Hulme in those days was a hell of a place!

I was about 12 when i moved there ... one of my mates lived on Charles Barry.

I still go down there quite often , but it's full of student accomodation and new housing now ... althought the Zion , and the Hippodrome are still there.

We played footie at the front of the library either on pathway or on the grass in front of flats. Mum worked in chippy for years. Great fun place as a kid and half hour walk to Maine Road

Lol ... the only reason we moved to Hulme in the first place was becasuse the council were demolishing our terraced houses on land close to where the fuckin' Etihad now stands!

Funny how life turns out eh?

There’s no place like Hulme.

I'll start again
Millwall late in the 90s was 1 of the biggest kick offs I've seen
3-0 Win and it all went off in the North Stand big time
Prior to that it had been a licking off Before as they all got off the Train at Stockpile
And after around Rusholme going back to Picadilly

Under the banner of Millwall... but there was every London firm there bar West Ham who despise Millwall. The MacIntyre documentary where he infiltrated the Millwall firm showed that up... there was even Reading and Watford in amongst the Millwall that day...and yet years later one of their main boys refuses to accept their rentamob status, insisting that they simply have 'a lot of sleepers who come out for big occasions'

I remember Bottles thrown into the old Kippax rafters raining shards down on the people underneath along with darts and coins.

Yeah remember that particularly when we played dippers

They were faggots. As soon as they knew they might get a smack they scuttled off back to the home counties. The surprise element had gone by half time

Because of living in Essex used to go to lots of games in London in early 80s - went to a Spurs v Rags game where cockney reds fought the spurs fans over to one side of the Shelf part of the ground - all trouble died down for about 15 minutes until about 100 lunatics appeared from the back of the ground and after sorting out the cockney reds turned their attention to the Spurs lads and chased them out as well - that's the first time I'd ever seen Millwall in action, at the time, absolute nutters.
