👍 Well done!

Quite an infamous incident. Does anyone know why?

[MancWanderer]

Now that I know it’s Newcastle and can see the smoke it was a petrol bomb that was lobbed wasn’t it?

iirc it was Newcastle fans chucked a petrol bomb into West Ham fans after some geordies got stabbed by West Ham at a previous game.

Indeed. Geordies giving West Ham Uniteds ICF a warm welcome by lobbing a molotov cocktail at them. That's the 80s for you.

Don't remember that!

Petrol bomb- that's not refined behaviour. 

[MancWanderer]

Remember it well though hadn’t recalled it was West Ham. Thought it must have been the Mackems but Google confirms that it was West Ham after the stabbing as per @bolton va vas post. Frightening when you think it now

A couple in the picture are in the Panarama documentary. Bolton get a mention. Billy Plummer and Harry the Dog both died before their time.
