I was there that day and i've lost count of the times i've told that story of that day, the ref took the teams off i seem to remember while order was restored

i was there. i think its been hyped up to have been more than it actually was. the Evertonians down the front got on the pitch after a few newcastle grocks kicked off on the terrace after some proper Everton boys jumped some Geordies near the bogs before the match started. i dont remember any big kick-offs going back to the train.

It was my first trip to Newcastle and i'd heard all about the place before i even landed there anyway which didn't do much for your nerves but we sat above the Everton fans who were in a pen in the paddock. When it kicked off the Geordies were jumping out of their pen onto the pitch (before fencing was erected) and into the Everton pen. It went off bad from what i can remember and i always remember Terry Darracott and Mike Lyons making some gestures to the Everton fans as if to say get into 'em and as if they were encouraging 'em. Although hooliganism was the culture in those dark days there was only Chelsea and Man Utd i'd seen it but not as bad as that day at St James's park
