What? A full dog? said:
In the back end if the boothferry park era, I was in three tunns with some friends reading through either city independent or amber nectar and came across an article written by a bloke who invaded the pitch in the Dolan era and ripped up his season pass in front of the dug out. In the article, he said that he singled out the weediest steward in south stand and ran past him when he wasn't looking. That steward was me. Oddly whilst reading the article, I happened to look up to see that I was stood right next to the author of the article - I knew it because I remember seeing the whites of his eyes flash past me at pace when I was stood picking my nose and bored out my skull at the pitch side.
Never bough the stupid mag again- just in case there were any more embarrassing revelations about my stewarding days.

Good work Slush, remember most of them. Tiger Rag was good. Do you know who contributed as bladerunner?

No. I always seemed to think Gary did but if so he never let on. I remember he penned a couple of really readable pieces - "The Casual Years" being one and "We Only Hate Sheff United" the other...if memory serves me right?

Go on, it was you wasn't it? :smiley-finger007:

'Hull, Hell & Happiness' came out for the League Cup tie v Arsenal in September 1988. Andy Medcalf & Ian Websdale were the first editors, with me and then Gary Hook co-opted on. I can still see that first "working lunch" when my gaffer came into find 200 sheets of amber paper with a pic of Jasper Carrott in full City kit dropping into the out-tray of the office photocopier. The whole fanzine operation was almost stopped in its tracks before we'd even got going!
'OC7' appeared later that same season I believe, before in the summer of 1990 Gary & I launched 'From Hull To Eternity' - a mag remembered as much for those legendary 'hu ll' t-shirts (ripped-off from the 'James' band version) as for what we wrote. In fact the t-shirt operation became bigger than the fanzine - anyone remember those 'Waggy', 'Carter USM', 'Going down With The Tigers' versions?
In 1992 we joined up with the 'HH&H' crew again under the umbrella 'Blind Faith 92' and produced 'Look Back In Amber'. Gary was also responsible for a one-off 'Last Train To Boothferry Halt', some of the other lads did a weird and wonderful 'Fearful Symmetry' offshoot and finally from the original 'HH&H' lineage came 'Tiger Rag'. Then it was time to make way for the new kids on the block...
It's all in the book...when someone comes up with the cash for me to get it published :emoticon-0116-evilg

Don't get me wrong had some great times, home and away, back in the early 90s - but it was so ****ing bleak following City back then and a truly disfiguring time to come of age
