I remember him and I also watched him climb up. I met him a few years later when he was working behind the bar at the Pack Horse. He said he went to a borstal for his antics. Probably had some previous to earn a spell inside? Or was just made an example of?

Hello Mr Pot?

Where these really the casual hooligans choice of attire back in the day? This is a picture of a set of C***S laying into a Cardiff fan. Check out the platforms on the guy doing the kicking. One lad in the background is wearing one of them three star jumpers (stolen from Ivor job). Remember seeing those white Baker coats at Burnden adorned with Bolton badges. obviously lads had Saturday morning jobs on the wagons at Warbbies. Also remember the White baker pants some lads wore, these where hijacked by the Bay City Rollers and their girl followers, so the lads stopped wearing them. The 70's was the decade that fashion forgot. Come on then what was your terrace choice of attire back then?.

What was with the scarf nickin back in the 70's?. Lads would proudly wear these at the next game as trophies. Think the taking of an oppositions scarf was like taking a scalp, or taking the standard and colours off the opposing army. Remember seeing loads of Tangerine and White ones a week after a Blackpool game, and various other opposition scarves around that period. Tell you just a quick story related to this. A Burnley lad I know was at the Burnley v Celtic Anglo Scottish cup game back in the 70's. He came across a Celtic fan passed out (pissed up) on the floor and nicked his scarf which had loads of enamel badges on it. He proudly put it around his neck and walked around the corner and bumped into a few Burnley lads who thought he was a loan Celtic fan? and before he could say up the Clarets they started to kick the shit out of him. What happened to the scarf I asked him? The fuckers nicked it was his reply.

Hello Mr Pot?

 

Exactly, if the situation at the club hadn't been so dire, we'd have pissed ourselves at McBain's irony.

 

Those louts kept the club afloat, whether you agree with the fighting or not.

anyone off here on the pic ?

Yes went to the game but sadly not in the photo. Unless you can spot a little lad with wearing a Bolton rosette and a bobble hat.

 

Any chance you can change that Avatar Miami? Keep hearing your written words coming out of that ugly mush in my head. (you have a very gruff voice) Unless that is your ugly mush,In which case I do apologise .
