First club to leave the Enclosure early and try and steam onto the Grange End. Mayhem.

it was 77 annis and it was the league match as i was up in london with a lot of cardiff watching glamorgan in the gillette cup cricket final as it was then.
we were all on paddington waiting for our trains when the football special carrying spurs from cardiff pulled in. they got run all over paddington and the ones who stood took a pasting it must have been a huge shock to their system getting run by cricket fans

They took everyone by surprise and as mentioned it took a while for city fans to get out on to the street and then the tide was turned. These spurs lads were mental, met a couple of them later and they said their main nutters had come from Walthamstow, crazy day.

It was disgusting and frightening for the thousands of sensible people who went to try and watch the football without getting involved in this sort of incident. I hated having to keep an eye out for trouble both in and out of grounds when I just wanted to support my team.
If you were involved, it was nothing to be proud of, neither then or now.
Thankfully this happens rarely nowadays.
