He was at the front of the mags, first lot who ran at us just past the pub and then again further down the road near the filling station. He got a good kicking when the mags turned and ran, give his his due he had a go

Correct.

And as someone mentioned , getting back to the station was no walk in the park either.

When you are at SJP this season getting escorted by robocop to and from the station with no real threat apart from a few noisy fuckers shouting abuse , spare a thought for some of us older generation and what we had to suffer in the name of supporting the lads.

Here here, and around Roker in the seventies. People ranting on about fighting and violence nowadays could hardly avoid it if you travelled back then. Especially if you fancied a drink pre- match. They don't know they are born with segragation and escorts. It was just the way it was in that era. I hate Mags, Ollie Burton's Testimonial anyone?

I was only 10. But I am aware of people who were there and I was at the match.
It appears your knowledge of it is minimal.
