Can't remember when but we took loads.
Cops told us we shouldn't have come if we didn't want trouble.
Hundreds of City hiding in a cemetery nearby until it died down.
Everton were evil that night. They were after Donald mainly.
Similar experience at Liverpool away around 1979 - night game - we got thrashed (as usual). Scousers were asking everyone without a red scarf for the time. I tried to put on a scouse accent - but they could tell and we dived into the cemetery to escape.
"Safely" back on the coach and a brick came flying through the window. Helen (the bell) sucked glass out of my hand - strange what people would do back then.
Apart from the rags, English fans are now much more pleasant - the same cannot be said for Italy. I have never seen so much hatred as I did in Naples last season - from women and children as well. I might have understood if they had lost. Dropped off at the port after midnight- no police and had to run from the Ultras and their knives. Crazy.
