Football hooliganism is nothing new in Germany, but when violence broke out before a Bundesliga match between two of the top clubs, this was something different.
The stones and bottles thrown and the hate banners displayed by Borussia Dortmund supporters on Saturday exposed a widespread loathing in Germany for a team seen as upstarts, RB Leipzig. Has Mensi started to support another team?

He is indeed, a great lad.Crackerjack but a very good supporter ...... funny as well
Just the kind of lad this thread was all about in fact.
First time I met him was Bradford away when hoolio danced the length of the pitch before chipping the keeper.
we got talking on route from the train station and went for a pint. Walter stopped at the 1st pub we saw & said 'do you reckon this looks a bit rough?' I said no but that rainbow flag means it's a Gay bar, which he was having non of.
Got in and it was blokes only, euro pop playing and glitter balls going. Really bizarre in an old style pub. So Walter being Walter asked the barman when he was ordering a pint 'see that flag oot there? Does that mean it's one of those (camp hand movement) bars'
the barman didn't break stride, "yes it does pet, now what can we get you..."

This reminds me of my mate's Dad who upon wandering into a bar in Soho and ordering 2 pints of lager was asked by the the barman if he realised that he was in a gay bar ? My mates Dad replied "Are you sure mate cos there's neebody in here looks very happy " .

Did the Shotton Axemen get their name after their infamous Hetton Youth League pitch invasion and attack on opposition players or were they already known for their axe wielding methods before that?got chased from shotton to just the other side of the boys brigade building near the airfield during the school holidays, off lads i was in the same class as

They were originally called the Shotton X-Men as they all had super powers and were incredibly cool ..... they had to change the name due to copyright issues
Certainly is ..... I was with him at Norwich in the 80's and eventually had to walk away.
He was absolutely roasting these two polis, how they didn't arrest him was a mystery.

I always thought Dick Allen was in Satans Saints. When I used to visit Amberly St circa 78 I'm sure Cappy was top gun? As well as the Bush they used to drink in the Salem

We used to put tins of beans deep in the bonfires, when they exploded people would get molten beans stuck to their faces that had arrived at 200mph!
Then one year we went OTT, using the same principle we hid a calor gas bottle in the heart of a bonfire at the white fences in concord.
Quite a bang that one!!!!
Would be his brother Davie. Two brilliant lads. And yes they are still there all the time despite the numerous reasons not to be. And if you're reading Kevin apologies if I'm airing your family business in public!

Wow, that's quite something.
Here's a story about a real character who's currently sending messages from the Longyearbyen Glacier 900 miles into the Arctic Circle ...... no idea why he's there.
@Richard The Third ..... otherwise known as Glen the Merciless .... has some weird ability to stroll into dangerous situations and emerge without a scratch. We'd absolutely shit ourselves while he'd nonchalantly wander around amongst Millwall or Leeds nutters. At Newcastle, for the 5-1 match, we were in the convoy from CS to SJP and there were quite a few attacks en route. I was doing my normal routine of keeping us together and one of the lads was taking a few video clips. Every other minute you can hear me shouting 'where's Glen' 'where the fuck is he ..... Glen, Glen!'
Then we'd spot him in with the Mags talking to 'some lad I know'
We were driving past the Blue Bell in the early 80's, on our way back to Mansfield, and the West Ham mob were being held outside the train station surrounded by loads of police. They were allowing Sunderland supporters to get their local trains before the special to London left.
Glen asks me to pull up, jumps out of the car and runs across the road straight into the Cockneys. A minute he emerges with the football paper he'd bought on the station!!!
Absolutely mental

Just remembered another Rod from Shotton tale:
There was a load of us in the Marina Club watching the pre-match exotic dancing. It was the day we beat Boro 1-0 when Davenport scored an absolute screamer. Red hot day. Anyway we were near the big windows in the concert room and Rod was keeping an eye out on the road in a crack in the curtains. Suddenly Rod announces "cheeky bastards, I am not having that" and storms out grabbing a bottle on the way. We pile over to the window expecting to see the Frontline coming down the street but instead there is nothing other than our fans walking past on the way to the ground. we return to the 'turn' and think nothing more of it. Shortly after we head off to the match and find Rod sitting by the curb, big grin on his face and blood pumping out of his hand clutching the shattered bottle. We ask whats going on and he says "decided give these lads some aircon for the way back" nodding at a mini-bus that now had every single window smashed in, courtesy of Rod and his trusty bottle. The mini bus had Redcar Van Hire written on the side.
