I reckon there was a lot of unemployed barbers during that era!
We won 2 European trophies in the 71/72 season.
Hey
Nutter-Naylor
, are you the guy counting out his shekels near the end.
Hey
Never had any money mate. We nicked or blagged what we could get and went without otherwise.
Boro away 74/75 ish.
For some reason went independently and I guess around 20 of us arrived at the station to be fronted up by a mob of them which we managed to chase off.
In another mad decision, did not go in the away end but stood to the side, about 6 of us. We were soon clocked. I was wearing a green jacket and one of them picked me out.
We got beat 4.0? but in fairness nothing happened to us.
In fact the guy who sussed me said he'd walk me back to the station as it would be bad out there.
As we parted ways, he opened his jacket to reveal a fuck off knife.
Anyway, happy weekend all.

Happy memories
In Berbatov’s last game for us I took my ten yr old son for his first game as we lived near there
Natives hostile and spat at us from a distance!
We lost 2-1 with Mido scoring for the wankers
Modric booed every time he touched the ball
Not a day to remember
Brilliant memories mate, some now 50 years old ffs. Something todays happy clappers will never experience (not that it was safe or sensible or indeed, recommended)
wached a couple of YouTube videos with some heavy hitters from Spurs days gone by . Hats off to anyone from back in that day.
Weird memories to term as “brilliant”.
I much prefer going to the game when I’m not in danger of being stabbed or spat at.
I guess you had to be there.
I guess so.
Speaking as someone who has actually been stabbed, it is a memory, but not a brilliant one. Hurts like a motherfucker. Not something I’d like to be within mikes of repeating. Don’t understand why anyone would.
Were you at that away game where the German skinhead insisted on doing him?
No mate. Interested to know the story.
Obviously didn't know who he was.
I'd like to hear this...
Arrivederci Roma
It's time for us to part
Arrivederci Roma
We've taken you apart.

We've fucked you and we've thrashed you
Now you can fuck off home.

Love it. Used to be my ringtone back in the day when that was the height of technology lol
Especially with your son who hated it and never watched another game even on tv so thank you Smoggiest!!
He enjoys Rugby League though!
It wasn't my era, by my time as a lad it was the odd scuffle at most for the average supporter, so I'm not the right one to comment. But in fairness I don't think anyone's enjoying memories of stabbings or the the threat of, so much as being a young lad caught up in the spirit of mobbing up etc. Weird one, I see it now through the eyes of an adult man and it's immature and, ultimately, bullshit. But there's no doubting its allure for youngsters.
All that said, sorry that happened to you. Can understand the perspective.
I'm so jealous of the generations that grew up with us a club that won big things
