mr_blue_owl Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 NO COMMENT! Hi pt. Revenge will be ours at Hillsborough, never fear. I was at the BDM in '79, unfortunately I am a bit too far away to go to this year's Hillsborough derby, but will be there in spirit.

Old Thread. New Post.... Thanks OP, for the memory...and the classic quotes above.😂. Getting on nearly 40 years since now and they're still talking (and singing) about it. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Great for me, the whole day through, walk down to the match with the mates, had a season ticket for the North Stand that season, so great view of the Kop and rest of the ground, rammed full to the rafters, Terrific atmosphere all round...and an amazing game start to finish, Mellor's legendary scorcher, Curran, King, Smithy, GET IN! Rushed home and out again, to the Bay Horse in Pitsmoor and drank a few beers and brandy, just for the ocassion. It was more than well worth the hangover of the following morning and the hoarse voice from chanting and singing and drinking. Still one of the best days of my life, in a footballing sense anyway....still got those old b/w Star photos of the match, the scarf, lucky Wednesday shirt, the programme and even that empty Brandy bottle! Good old Jackie Charlton, eh? what a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bumped into some friends who were owls fans they thought Utd would win so did I we had the best away record they the worst home at the time. Walking home afterwards feeling sick took some getting over my owl mates didn't let me forget for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
