We'll never die, we'll never die
I just got an email from someone I was at school with vai that friends reunited website saying

"Hiya mate,

Do you remember that time when we nearly lost you in North London when we went watching United at Arsenal in 1988?"


Do I remember it? I was only 14 and we were in the Arsenal end, I was well scared! We lost 1-0 and McClair missed a late penalty. :(
 
And we nearly ended up in the arsenal end ourselves...

We didn't have a clue.

Queueing up with the cockneys to get in for ages 'till it clicked that we were at the wrong end.

I think that was the game that this cockney Red, Mick, punched a police horse square in the nose, dropping the horse. Classic stuff <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />
 
Wibbs...

We stayed in a flat directly across the road from the crown and sceptre pub.

After the game we went on the piss in covent garden and took the tube back to brixton.

One scary walk up that high road.
 
This was outside after the game, a Fed on his horse was using the horse to push Reds back onto the pavement and the horse stepped on Mick's toe. So like anyone would do when someone stands on your toe, he lamped the nag... funiest thing I've ever seen <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Yeah it was an FA Cup game 'cos we'd gone down there in a minibus with "United's route to Wembley via Highbury" on the side - didn't really need reminding about it on the long drive back up North <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[No No]" />

I just looked up the result and we lost 2-1, not 1-0 shows you that it must have been a long time ago - my memory must be going! <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

Ah, memories memories.

Anyone remember the minutes silence for Sir Stanley Rous at Lowbury?

CHARLIE NICHOLAS YOU'RE A WANKER YOU'RE A WANKER.


Well sorry but we thought he was signing for us.

Just shows you what we clung to back then.
 
Who remembers Sheff Wed away in Feb 2000 - Teddy scored to win the match 1-0 on the day Harrold Shipman was sentenced and all the United were singing "Your going down with Doctor Shipman, down with Doctor Shipman" <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Didn't your mate almost push you down the stairs when United scored? He sounds like a bit of a character that one - good at raiding buffets though ;)

To drink more.
