Lord Horn 0 Posted December 1, 2007 [D]Spotted this clip on youtube when I was looking at the Norwich v. Liverpool clip featuring a great goal by Colin Suggett following a great flick on from the legend Paddon.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hGCWO1U7vaQ&feature=relatedThis might explain to some of our younger viewers why everyone hates Man U, as this sort of activity used to follow them wherever they went.

Hooleyfan 0 Posted December 1, 2007 Is it any wonder that we had such tragedies as Heysell and Hillsborough? Makes you wonder what sort of society we lived in back in the 70s and 80s in those ''good old days''. However, every club used to have its youth mob, even us....just that Man Utd had a bigger one than most...and they didn''t, in common with today, didn''t all come from Manchester.

gazzathegreat 0 Posted December 3, 2007 Yes they did Jas, it was very scary and the ground was a complete mess. Those days must never come back, the football was good then, but a price to pay was the large hooligan element everywhere you went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
