Analfield

Definitely Leeds United, went there once in the seventies, never again, horrible ground fenced in everywhere for good reason, their fans were vile.

Only went there once, in 78, when Andy King scored after a few minutes in the seasons opener. Glad to get through the day unscathed to be honest, especially the tube journeys. Old Trafford was a hostile ground as well, not helped when our fans...

Elland Road.

It was our love of the Blues. Plus that tingle of excitement...and anxiety...wondering whether you would get back unscathed. They could be horrible times but glad I lived and went through it just to be able to say 'Been there, done it and bought...

I had similar in the 70s walking down the King's Road with my brother onthe way to the ground we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of about 50 Chelsea chanting anti scouse songs, we had to keep tight lipped and walk with them until we could...

A lad next to us went down in a heap there. Bloody everywhere, they were throwing darts at us in the ground. Police not interested Got very tasty after the game in the Coach park. Horrid place.

Saw Peter Reid break his leg in the snow at Bolton, match called off at half time cos of the weather, they blamed our goalie George Wood but it was the conditions that led to it. Signed for us eventually in 1982.

Going to Burnden Park in 1977 and seeing us at last get to a final. Never simple with us though as Duncan McKenzie missed his penalty. A great atmosphere in an old, definitely old, fashioned stadium, which have long gone now.

I just remember most youngsters had doc martins, flemings 24 inch and scarves tied around the wrists and we actually thought we looked great :)
