If you could bring any matchday experience back...

[Bert]

The whole Kop laughing in unison several times a game as Laurent D'Jaffo again failed to get off the ground to flick on a goal kick.

They weren't laughing the day he belted one in the back of the net in front of the Unitedites at Hillsborough.
Just for that one moment he can always sit at the top table.

 

[Dnblade]

Well that's exactly what he shouted but as far back as I can remember he was always in the family enclosure in the old G block on the South.

Oh right mate...I remember it shouted on the Kop from 70's onwards maybe earlier...can't remember when it stopped...it was always greeted with an Aaarrrgh from the crowd.

No radio song can bring back such memories. The radio is a bit before my time though!

They're both before my time, sort of! Remember my gran having a similar old wireless on t'sideboard in her house, but the song would be playing in the car after the match, me and dad dashing back to hear all the full time scores, cue the music!! Stuart Hall was a genius with his poetic repodown.I absolutely loved them, crying shame he needs putting down.

My brother sitting me on a barrier on the Kop so i could see the game.

The whole Kop laughing in unison several times a game as Laurent D'Jaffo again failed to get off the ground to flick on a goal kick.

No idea why when I've seen promotions, cup semis, Deane, Agana, Borbokis, but that pile of shite side with D'Jaffo, Sandford, Santos, Suffo etc was still the most fun I've had down the Lane

Ah but when the "Lion of Hillsborough" banged that goal in at Pigland, all was forgiven! You couldn't question his effort.

Incidentally in a Blades Hardmen XI, big Laurent would definitely be up there.

Atmosphere at the Cardiff 5-1 game.

Standing on the terrace with our kid that night, unbelievable atmosphere.

We lost him a couple of years ago, but as someone else has said, he'd be loving this

Could well be him! I'll ask him next time I see him

 

[Canterbury Blade]

Just seeing floodlights as the train pulled into Midland station.

Going onto the kop in the 80's once the exits had opened at 65 minutes when I had no money to pay for the entrance.

A pint of Wards.

Players coming out of the John St Tunnel and managers sitting in those white mini shelters.

The kop trench, white railings and corner bit.

Me mates from the 80's now scattered all over the world and some literally scattered (RIP).

Beware the March of time - one day it might be down he back of your own leg.

Even worse,down the front of your own leg,and finding the dirty bastard who's done it is yourself...

 

[Carlton Blade]

Scores being on the placards and having to check the programme for which letter was for which match. Only time a programme was worth buying

 

[speedymcgeady]

The hot dogs and hamburgers in the big bain maries in water, simmering away, looking like cheap dog meat( Westlers, I believe) and if you said yes to the onions, they got slopped on,soaking your bread.....but all served by a. A female pensioner or b. A teenage girl ,not the soulless fuckers nowadays.

 

[super_pig]

Was he the one who used to shout Coyraww from the Kop TA?
I miss that...always when there was a lull in the noise from the crowd,and a voice that sounded like he's been on a diet of hot gravel and razor blades...Wardonia blades ofcourse.

aaaahh
