Need closure on the murder detention.

I'd imagine a few others on here involved as well.

Going into the game at Brentford, at Griffin Park, on 22 October 1979, United were top of Division 3. Played 14, Won 10. Brentford were fourth.
(It was a night match)

There were a lot of Blades who made the trip. I went on a coach. As was the case in those days, it was all fairly boisterous and chaotic. I was on what would pass as the away end. But, there was a concerted assault on the home end to try and take it.

United won 2-1. It was all going on in the streets after. Running battles. To and fro. Etc. We got on the coach and eventually set off for the journey through the night to Sheffield.

When we got up the M1, a few police cars started following us and overtaking us. They pulled us into Watford Gap Services. (A few other people on other coaches tell me they got to Leicester Forest.) We were told the police needed to turn us around and get us back to Brentford because of the trouble after the match. Every coach they could catch up with, and turn around, was escorted back to Brentford.

Let's say that's about half one in the morning when we get back to Brentford. The coaches were all parked up just by St Paul's Recreation Ground, down from what is now The Black Dog Beer House. Plod tried to take all our names and addresses. Eventually, they let the coaches go. And it was well past seven in the morning when our coach pulled into Pond Street.

The story that emerged was that someone had been found on the deck and unresponsive during/just after the mayhem outside the ground. The decision had been taken to get all the Sheffield United fans back, in anticipation of a murder investigation. In the small hours, it began to emerge that the unfortunate "victim" had probably died from natural causes/heart attack.

With the passage of time, I'm happy to embellish and retell that story as - I was detained for murder.

Anybody else there?

Thing is, today's critic Snake, has posted in the past about traveling to games on Spencer's Bus. So there's every chance you & I know him.

Snake I'm Phil (obvs). I used to sit up the sharp end on Shred's and drink with Goodison, Jack H and Joe Speed. Maybe we know/knew each other in real life?

Anyway, my Blog is there for all to see - load of bollocks about nothing at all, I'm not under any illusions.

Aye - when the football is bad then beer and pubs take centre stage.

I apologise. Absolutely nothing personal against you. I just don't understand people who seem to do things so they can publicise it to the whole world. To me (possibly wrongly cos I just don't get social media) it's as if people are saying........."Woooooh look at me. I have this great and interesting life. Look what I've done, look where I've been and what I'm doing next".

To me it's bollocks. I'm a big believer in......... do what you (as in one) do, do it for yourself, share with family/close friends who have a connection/shared interest in your life. I mean, I wouldn't walk around a boozer placing my hol snaps or pictures of my grandkids on every table for people to see (why the fuck would they be interested anyway?) so why would I put it out on public social media?

As for the great man Shred. Tbh we were not big friends, as such. Like hundreds (thousands) of others, I travelled on his buses, on and off, over many many years. I was never a week in week out regular though - maybe did 7 or 8 'Shred Tours' a season on average. Back in the day sometimes we did train (footy special), sometimes found a mug (friend) to drive, and sometimes did a weekend. Shred to me was like he was to many, a fantastic bloke who always had time for a nod a few words and a pint here and there. But I wasn't part of his inner circle.

And, yes, I was pissed off on Sunday night - been a tremendous season this one hasn't it
