I've met some truly mad Sunderland supporters .....

Not open for further replies.

I worked in Newcastle in late 70's/80's & knew a few of their lads. Healey, Little Charlie, Britches. Went for a few drinks with them a few times. I even went to see them play Bastia at SJP. (Johnny Repp get in). Regan was on the fringes of their squad & was a twat. I was in the RE against them, remember when they had a mixed area between Sland & the skunks. Me & my mate were there and the mags come in. (Don't know year 1979?). Anyway Regan came in and he'd had a right kicking. Big fat eye, bloody nose, cut lip. He said he tried to get in the Fulwell. Got stopped by the coppers & got twatted by a load of Sunlun while the coppers turned a blind eye. Hopefully that will make you feel a bit better;)
I'm sure I can remember a mag standing with some coppers beside the exit gate on the corner of the Fulwell and the Mainstand must've been late 70's . I assumed that he was trying to identify the lads who did him like . What a f***ing mess he was in mind . He looked like he'd been run over by a burning tank . :lol:
 
The Portland was one of their main bars back then. Jimmy Nail used to get in there as well, though he was known as Jimmy Bradford.

Aye I know mate. Been in a few times. The lad I worked with was one of their main squad. Believe it or not most of them were OK, & they all knew I was a mackem. Never met Jimmy Nail though, thank fuck.:eek:

I bet it was Regan. I nearly shit when I saw him, the state he was in. All the Mags were asking what happened. Then came the usual response "the mackem bastards".:lol::lol:

He could call himself Jimmy Sinatra but he'd still be a shite singer .

His face was red raw where the skin had been scraped off . Swollen eyes and claret all over his top . I bet he never made it as a male model after that day .

Despite the urban myth that Sunderland were soft as shite, its amazing how many had copped it off Sunland. Like I say I used to have the odd pint with their lads in Newcastle. There was at least 3 or 4 who had lost teeth against Sunderland. They don't admit it til you get to know them a bit.

Talking of Gateshead.

I remember going to Southampton with the travel club circa 1978. 17 or so. We got down at 6am and by 1pm or so we were blotto. I remember coming out of a bar with a load of SAFC fans and seeing some southampton fans standing outside a pub. The SAFC fans ran at them and one of them got away and went inside the pub. About 30 seconds later the pub emptied onto the street and I ended up getting chased by a couple of lads through Marks & Spencer Lingerie Department. :)

I made it outside and down this road and half way down there were two lads from Gateshead, SAFC fans, who had also been chased. In true Warriors style one of them said "i'm sick of this running crap, and if any more come down the street we're not going anywhere". One of the lads had ginger hair and one of them black hair with a thick tache. A good 7 or 8 years older than me. We hopped on a bus to the game. It lashed it down and we lost 2 v 4. It was on MOTD. Think Ashurst missed a penalty.

When I got inside one of my mates was standing on the barriers singing and I went over to him. He too had been chased but into a hotel.

There was a table in the hotel and it had a pile of glass ashtrays on it. He started hoying the glass ashtrays at the Southampton lads and apparently got one of them an absolute pearler. Claret everywhere.

He'd ran out the back door of the hotel before the police arrived.

Day and a half that one mind.

Should have added that some of the Southampton fans were f***ing massive. Right nasty twats.

Lousy day for us.

Trouble at that pub up the street, parked in a block of flats opposite and reversed into a brick gatepost that collapsed, scarpered and parked miles away.

We went ahead, Ashurst missed the penalty and it all went wrong ........ we were crammed in that horrible away section and it pissed down.

Got pulled at Bicester for dangerous driving on the way home ...... thankfully missed MOTD ;)
