Not seen or heard from him since 1986. Think he’s still alive as he has a flat in Camden that’s rented out under his name but won’t make contact. Doubt the cunt knows that our Dad died 10 years ago. If he’s still alive he’ll be watching all the London games. Always did. Hippy cunt who got massively into resin and LSD. Fuck him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Was Waldrons leg break the year before the lad got stabbed? - 74/75 ish? I was at both games as a young 'un, but the memories are fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Armfield abandoned that experiment when he took over the following season. Certainly do. Couldn't bring myself to have one. A bit too MU for my liking.

Then we had the ballache of having to go through that pub car park and every car had to be searched. The lad who caught the stabbed one as he fell is in our scooter club down here (the tangerine twat ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a young lad caught for the knifing and the police cocked up the interview and he got off with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No naming names mate but we all know who it is, which school he went to and a few other facts which are probably best not aired here - even though it was a very long time ago. Yes, there was some sort of stuff up in the police investigation and he got off with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to name names obviously I heard the story off a friend from over bolton he said they moved to Australia. Obviously common knowledge over bolton no idea who are what happened over darwen way was just wondering if what I was told was true. Was at the game myself but don't remember to much about it. We were in the stand down the side I can remember seeing the trouble but don't remember much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It happened down near the toilets under the Kop - no proper segregation in those days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the game there was a thick line of police separating the 2 sets of fans, but at h/t most of the police stayed put while lots of fans went round the back onto the steps & a great, big fight broke out. The lad charged was acquitted on a technicality ( he was interviewed without an adult present, i think ) but the strong view in Bolton was that he didn't do it anyway. He was around for a while after that & even went to some matches but ( maybe a couple of years later ) the family were supposed to have emigrated & as far as i know, have never been back since.

Yep, then all the police went down the back after the incident - which left the Blackpool lads on the Kop being scattered. I can still picture one lad keep coming back towards me my mate & he got booted away 3/4 times. The police came back & after they established another DMZ, all the Blackpool lads were chanting 'We want the n*****', as they knew his ethnicity. As was said previously, we were kept in for ages afterwards... I'm sure there was a front page on the Daily Mirror about the lad after the court case & it named him as he 'got away' with it.

Burndens Bogs Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The boy that they arrested & charged was in my class at school after the case was thrown out. Nice lad to be fair, but we never did find out if he did it or not, like i said earlier he wouldn’t talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
