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

NF & Skin Heads.

Horrible bastards and well organised. I remember playing them at Maine Road when they were banned from travelling away. I was stood outside the ticket office and in the distance you could hear, "The Chelsea united, will never be defeated." Everyone starts looking thinking what the fuck is that? A few seconds later they walked around the corner like a fucking military unit. About fifty of them, all dressed the same. Black reefer coats and docs. They actually marched in a block perfectly, like soldiers on parade. The police quickly surrounded them and took them away but it was a bizarre sight.
 
the amount of trouble on that 1981 f.a cup run was ridiculous
The two games against Everton in the quarters and the league cup semi at Liverpool saw violence on a scale you just don't see now . Peterborough in the 5th round away was a mad day as I recall I was young ,stupid and fit then ,now an FOC with memories good and bad. Would love to live through it again.

Some day that at Goodison even the Coppers were laying into the City fans, my auntie worked as a nurse at the MRI she said Everton fans were being sent all over Manchester to get stitched up before and after the replay

on the special from victoria everyone was up for it but we underestimated the reality.

my memory of it is...
at lime st. the coppers lined us all up next to a fence for 5mins,
on the other side of which were scousers of both variety,
who spat at us the whole time.

no buses to goodison,
we were marched by a police escort to the ground.
half way there one got of his horse and truncheoned me.
i think i managed to get into the ground pretty much unscathed.

after the game it was fucking mental.
never seen anything like it.
the train back to victoria was completely trashed.
the best away day of my life.
