Things you don't see at football anymore

[Barn]

Defenders who's job is to kick the opposition then welly the ball into row Z

 

[Chippy]

Chippy - Harringtons are back in!! (did they ever go away?)I've got one identical to the one in photo and wear it to most matches (until it gets really cold when I wear my Lambretta parka!)

Back in?

Superb I loved em back in the day and will purchase one as soon as I see one..now all I need is a Crombie and a pair of Oxblood leather soled Beogues..

I've got a Parka still the warmest thing to wear to a Motor Auction in the winter.

and not necessarily in that order.

 

[Pudge]

Cans of Hofmeister

I used to serve in Bar 1 which was the main food in the East Lower back in the late 80's and had the worst job - opening cans of Hofmeister into plastic glasses when your fingers were so cold you couldn't get the ring pulls off and some bar lamb asks for 10 pints - aaagh

Every other fan smoking

 

[Cicero]

Shots breaking goalposts or crossbars.

 

[BlueBeard]

Goalposts and crossbars made of squared off pieces of wood. The woodwork at Hampden Park was notorious, if a player hit a shot against the post or bar it was anyone's guess which direction the ball would fly off in.

[SE9 Gate 13]

Warning on front of match day programe about violence will not be tolerated, Tottenham in the cup i think 1982'ish then we get Millwall twice ffs

 

[shedhead]

......such as so many old fans/supporters who can't afford to go anymore.

Wet spam, having read "Skinhead" in the Shed. Fools.

Huge mobs outside the ground with chains, sticks with nails etc, wanting a massive punch up.

Youngsters in the thousands, see first point.

Didn't you just love it when it went tits up- and you had to try and decipher the scores because bits of other screens intersected the page;

That was hilarious, usually with some bright green and a really electic light blue in there too.
