Turning up without a ticket, and buying OAP discounted tickets for £7 (even though I was only about 14) from this tout who had a deal going with a particular bloke at one of the tunstiles. Seems a far cry from the prices they're charging these days.

Rum fookers trying to sell knocked of merchandise from the City Store to you as you made your way towards the ground - I neraly bought a City Alarm Clock off one of these blokes once, before thinking better of it.

Seen one today no less. A big blue van drove down my street, Sign on the side "Scrap Metal, Clothes Etc Wanted" and "Any Old Iron" blaring out of a loadspeaker. I kid you not.

A modern version of Steptoe & Son.


What happened to Party Seven's. I remember opening them with a screwdriver and then trying to catch all the beer.
