The cool cats

One of our toughest lads at that time was openly gay. Can't remember his name but he was a genial Irishman who always wore a suit. Hard as nails too.
Hmm, that might be Paddy O’Neil, smallish, sometimes turned up in a pink leather jacket and a fucking nutter. If it’s the same fella a bit of a legend in his day but some of his none City stunts were fucking horrendous. I doubt he’s a member on here but I don’t give a shit, he is/was a true c#nt.

hope I’ve got the right fella. Lol

That's the fella. I didn't know him personally so I've no idea what his non football stuff was but I had seen him at games (especially away) and I'd seen him in action.
 
For the record, I started work in 1970 at the age of 16 and once earning I went all over watching us away. I was never involved with any 'firm' and even though I went to all the toughest grounds I never really had to get involved with any trouble.

That includes staying in the Scoreboard End at the Swamp in 1974 until the match ended (there wasn't a final whistle). You could choose to get involved or you could generally swerve it. Me and my mates swerved it.
 
Even then there was a lot of Duncan Norvelle chase me stuff at football. I've been to every notorious ground in England throughout the late 70s and early 80s and it always was worse when you had your guard down at some backwater.
 
They took a coach to Wembley 81 replay with a flag in the back with MCFC and a tiger on it. Spurs were all knobs dressed like Jimmy Somerville in green jackets and had never seen a sharp dressed lad before the tramps.
You are a bit out on your pop stars with Jimmy Somerville as he didn't come to prominence until 1984.
My memory of Spurs fans in 1981 was that a lot of them had Indian war paint ala Adam and the Ants,and Adam and his chums were one of the main TOTP acts in 1980/81.
