My memory is shot but I'm sure it was the lad from the underground market who sold Leather coats that twatted him.

You are right, it was Johnny K. A right evil looking fecker he was. Me and him hitched it Back from West Ham in the 70's, and he came back to mine to get a cab about 7-30 sun morning. My old man went for a piss and Johnny came out of the bog and scared my old man shitless ha ha

 

[bitterblue]

Yeah....wasn't he known as NOT PC ALERT paki?

No, because he used to tell everyone he was an Arab.

And one of the comments:

"i was there too,first time i`ve seen this was probably too pissed off to watch motd,that`s the biggest away following i`ve ever seen at elland road"

The cops were a fucking joke at that Newcastle Cup tie. The segregation "barrier" was a line of "do not cross" ribbon and a few cops. Just before KO some Geordies broke through it and it all kicked off, the cops started arresting City fans almost at random. Some Blues went down onto the concourse and then the cops wouldn't let them back up to the terracing when the trouble died down. Then after Joe Royle(?) scored our opening goal there was more scrapping and some fans spilled onto the pitch to get away from it. It was a nice warm-up for a trip to Elland Rd in the next round!

A friend of mine used to hire the Godfrey Abbot United bus for some away games....not sure if anyone remembers but I'm sure it had United emblazoned on the side of the coach.....so it had to prk miles away from the ground.....didn't like the advertising on the bus....but we thought we were important travelling to a match with tables on the coach!

The biggest ever away following at Elland rd ,,,,,, and yet we have no fans or history ?

The old Ayresome Park was such a delight too.

My favourite 2 away days were Middlesborough and Leeds - makes you miss the good old days with no H&S bollocks.

Thought the goal in that game was about 10 minutes from the end but it said 4 in the commentary. I remember the Leeds fans singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" and feeling absolutely sick.

Never forget this game, I am sure a Leeds fan ran across the pitch at one point from their end and started goading city fans behind the goal and because he wasn't wearing
colours a copper didn't realise he was Leeds got a grip of him and threw him in to the blues !!
Talk about being thrown to the lions ! does anyone remember this ?
Sweet revenge the game a season after won 2 1
