Digbys.Couple o sunlun got slashed in some bar in town ..
Lively occasion .. they brought a mob .
That was Chelsea, who has a thing with Rangers at the time, in Digbys. Unfortunately that happened/happens in many city centres regularly in a non football context too. Pathetic.Couple o sunlun got slashed in some bar in town ..

They had an excellent team back then. I am sure the season before (1992-93) they won the domestic treble in Scotland and went unbeaten in the inaugural UEFA Champions League where they played the eventual winners Marseille and Leeds in the Battle of Britain. Cannot recall Ally McCoist playing in Gary Bennett's testimonial match - was he injured?Rangers had a good team back then, so it wasn’t a bad game.
Skinhead marched out of the paddocks and ran towards itI remember during the match a lot of bad feeling was caused by someone in a Mag top in the Clockstand.
Aye, incredible atmosphere created by the Rangers supporters, did they have The Roker and The Clock Stand?Anyone go ?
Scenes outside .
Was terrible.
Sunderland(seaburn mostly) actually 'done' the rangers lads round the back of allied carpets. Remember roker avenue just being a blanket of glass. Also a few mag 'lads' got knacked outside the roker end.Tbf the old firm are bored out of their skulls travelling to Kilmarnock and Motherwell etc and it’s a chance to have a daft day out coming over the border.
That game was nowt really, we were doing fuck all at the time and testimonials are a pantomime that our fans have never been that boshed about apart from maybe Monty’s against the Mags which drew about 30,000.
Roker Avenue v Rangers was interesting from about 6pm when a full strength Vauxies turned out and years later Seaburn and Vauxies held their own at Ibrox after Ian Ferguson’s testimonial match.
Both games was mainly about the away fans being on the beer and having a laugh apart from a few exaggerated isolated incidents.

I vaguely remember a fan encroaching the pitch and kissing a Rangers scarf and was roundly booed by the Fulwell End. He then produced a Sunderland scarf and kissed that too. As he was led away by the police the whole ground cheered him. Rangers were immense, too quick and powerful for us on the evening and Mark Hateley was almost unplayable, scoring a brace of second half goals and nearly snapping the crossbar with a towering header.
The back of the roker was mental .Sunderland(seaburn mostly) actually 'done' the rangers lads round the back of allied carpets. Remember roker avenue just being a blanket of glass. Also a few mag 'lads' got knacked outside the roker end.
