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

A particularly nasty day was an FA cup fifth round tie against Plymouth in the mid eighties. Their was a massive gay rights demonstration in town in protest against the Thatcher government. I saw no worse before the match than blues jeering the demonstraters but at the match rumors spread that the parade had been attacked and several demonstrates had been ambushed and injured. We won the match 3 1;and learned the Rags had lost at Arsenal ending there last chance of a trophy that season so headed back to town in a great mood. When I reached Wilmslow Rd I was horrified to see anyone who looked like they had been on the demo smacked by gangs of blues as many were walking back that way towards the uni. The worse incident I witnessed was a lesbian couple being thrown out into the traffic fortunately their was no accident. Only time in my life I felt ashamed to be a blue. This will seem totally unbelievable in these days of Canal St and gay pride but it happened and left me feeling disgusted.
" Ok
 
Bit naughty at Leicester first game of 76 77 season. Massive City following and very small away end in one corner. City all over home stands police pulling them out and putting in the already over crowded away end. Mither from car park to ground and back, but enough City to see them off.
Went on the train.. huge mob of City. Trouble all the way....to & from the ground/station.
 
A Maine Rd Derby in the mid 90s class of 92 in the away dressing room. What do you think of it says Ryan Giggs, " awful says Nicky Butt they're spitting at me and calling me a m****h bastard. Don't worry says Giggs they do that to all of us, yes says Butt but you are a m****h bastard .

You’re slagging off lads you’ve never met from an era long since gone ?

I guarantee you’d have kept your mouth shut back then if you’d met any of them and possibly been glad they were around when you were attacked by the likes of Utd, Leeds, scousers, cockneys etc
