Ricardo it was crazy but funny, watching them pulling their scarves and flags back in and running up the the stairs of the double decker has the guys converged on them at the lights, they were in full piss take mode then went into a shear panic, I know we lost the game but the memory of that mad 10 minutes will last long on the memory, don’t think they realised we had all left with 15 mins to go

City had quite a steadt crew of skinheads which started in early 69, you still had your original guys from gorton wythenshaw and Langley etc like les Tate, George McGuire, Mark Britney etc but these guys were something else, I’ve witnessed real skirmishes at Newcastle Leeds and notts forest in the early seventies who in fact at forest believe it or not had a big crew of old fashioned greasers with leather studded jackets, City’s fans were very tribal back then unless it came to at Trafford or Leeds, United were all bay city roller types but had far bigger numbers but were easily picked off and not as they were really portrayed to be, citys skinheads were quite cunning levets
