We were drinking and chatting with them at dinner time and they invited us back after for a drink ,everything was fine then BOOM he was a one man army ,his own mates were shitting themselves. My abiding memory is him walking towards a bridge and about 20 lads running away from him and throwing stuff at him. Someone hit him with a pool cue in the pub and it may as well have been a matchstick ,Nightmare on Chester-Le-Street :)

Yes the pool cue just snapped and then he ripped his shirt off to start beating his chest.

Worth noting when people bang on about the odd flare and chucking a bit of ketchup around. Lets see how 'brave' these kids are at Elland Road etc. Back then, it was incredible and the police weren't around to rescue you.

Newcastle 1 Blades 3 in April 1979. Mick Speight. Not sure who is the Newcastle player. We did the double over Newcastle that season but bottom club Blackburn did the double over us!

Yes, I had Irving Mattress on my mind - I went to that game, sat in their new stand in front of the Leazes Terrace and got the dog's abuse from the locals.

Great photo ! This was home for me 1983/84 first year at Newcastle University. The window next to the left hand central black door was my bedroom , watched some great scrapping from behind the net curtains on match days, especially when West Ham or Chelsea were in town. This normally commenced around 10am on a Saturday.

Just around the corner was a snicket leading round to the Gallowgate romantically nicknamed 'Death Alley'. There was a large piece of graffiti on the wall stating ' Petrol is dear so it's cheaper to burn Hammers' commemorating the time a molotov cocktail was lobbed in to the Leazes End full of West Ham.

So much for smoke bombs.
