Anyone else remember wearing their scarf tied around the wrist? :oops:
 


Can I just add haversacks to the debate, if no one already has. Duly painted in either the clubs or your favourite bands colours

I was probably a little too old to be swept up in that particular fashion but I was a devoted follower of DM 18 holers, or brown brogues. With them clacky segs on the bottom. :lol: And the ubiquitous Levi/Wrangler denim jacket.

Still have the same one and am thrilled that I can continue to get into it. Maybe I was a fat bassa then as well.

Last season at Villa, it was like the land that time forgot, some of their lads in a pub near the ground were still dressed like that, one of the kernts even came, over to ask my m8 what was the name of the road outside, he doesnt have the accent, I nearly pissed myself laughing, Back to The Future indeed

I could be totally wrong here but I think George Mulhall got two and Neil Martin got the other. I'm sure one of the wrinklies on here will put me right if I'm wrong!

Neil Martin scored a header from outside the box.

Strangely I can't recall much about the game itself.

My memory could be totally deceiving me here, but I seem to recall that there was a turnstile between the "paddock" where we were and the Leazes End, and you paid two bob (I think) to transfer to the Leazes. My brother, who was fourteen, left me on my own and paid his two bob! That was why the locals took pity on me (Newcastle fans I think, cos I don't think there was segregation) and carried me to the front.

White 'Skinners' were canny embarassing, anarl .....

Although every 'nutter' at footy games seemed to wear them.

I remember the first time I saw them at a footy game ....
A Rangers fan climbing over the fence - Into The Stretford End on his own ...
Armed with a f***ing Fireman's Axe !!!!!!!!!!

Pre-season 'friendly match' ...
They demolished the 'hard lads' in both The Stretford End and The Holte End, within a couple of days.

But you had to take the strap off one side and 'loop' it onto the other to make an extra long strap.

Aye, I remember that. You carried your "havver" at about the level of your arse. :roll:

Most haversacks were beige, but occasionally there were grey ones. I had red and white stripes painted on the top flap and I remember painting a black band across the bottom when we went back to wearing black shorts (1972?)

Was in a bar in Bristol for a game at Eastville about 75, was canny craic with the locals until one of our lot goosed a lass on her way to the bogs and it went off like a wild west saloon brawl, tables chairs and glasses flying all ower the place. Cops were straight in with their truncheons, we managed to get out with just a few bruises.

Remember that, I was there. About 10 of us from Gateshead and some lads from Jarra were drinking at the backend of a long narrow bar in the city centre before the match. We were standing next to the bogs and two lasses pushed passed us to get to them. Someone grabbed her arse and she yelled up the bar to her fella. At that point two f***ing gorrillas appeared and started punching everyone insight. We all piled in, tables and glasses smashed, and got a nice fat lip to take to the match with me.:-D

One of the most versatile and cost effective items ever bought, lasted right through senior school, college and my early years in work. Now that was a man bag :lol:
