I know your a reformed hooligan, It just got me wondering .. Was it the buzz?? E.G .... Was it the away night fixture at the front of the police escort? The smell of the horse dung mixed in with the burger smells .. The noise of police helicopter hovering above with its beams upon the escort?? Then the shouts of don't run keep it tight lads?? Soul crew!! soul crew!! The pushing all around? Then the dogs howling with the odd bite and the arrest's follow :roll:

Drinking champagne with sam the man ... ;)

Respect to you for giving it all up though :old:

You could just read the book "My Story"

Alternately you could've PM'D him and asked him directly,
Instead of this approach.
Probably would've gained a response and a tad more respect .
Just an observation, not mocking you.

Sounds like a good laugh but hooliganism has ruined the away experience for most of us today.

Back then It was a culture thing...


Now it's more of people trying to prove themselves in a world where it's not really warranted or tolerated.

It was a culture thing in the 80's, just like u had Mod,Rock,Skinhead years ect etc.
Most of us moved on years ago from all this, it happened, its History now and we are more of a family club nowadays. :thumbup:

The RVs/Bubbles are nothing to do with the 80's, its actually to do with from the year 2000, Stoke away ect.

It was a culture thing to do with young men looking for an excuse to fight. its always happened...mods vs rockers, skins against anyone lol. football was young men defending their town/city/honour/football club.and remember their was not much to cheer about on the field most of the time down the city.and if you go to any town on a weekend now you will still see young men fighting...............it happens.........then most people grow up get married, have kids........and your perception of life changes when your children depend on you earning money and being there for them.its easy to have a go at former hooligans without bothering to look at the social history of those times. :ayatollah:
