Once (recently) did 18 cans and won £1 in a bet at Leicester that I daren't do the truffle shuffle in the main bar. Didn't realise he said £1. Thought he said £100.
When I was a teenager I used to watch Reading with my mates as it was the nearest 'big' club (old 3rd division back then). We used to go in the corner near the away fans - back in the days of regular aggro at games. most Reading fans were soft as and used to run the moment there was a sniff of trouble. Oppo teams got wind of this and used to give it large. One match, the oppo fans surged and Reading scattered as usual. One oppo fan shouted "come on, I'll take you all on". Hd climbed the railings byt as he went to jump into the Reading section, his jeans/belt got caught on the spikes of the high fence. He was basically hanging by his jeans with the world's worst wedgie, screaming with pain, as loads of fans surged back to taunt him. It was hilarious - while it lasted, before he got hoisted down and carted off by police.
As you know my dad is a Mackem and once I walked into their programme shop round the back of the ground and asked for NUFC programmes. I was like 8-9 or summat but remember the look on his face. Got a couple of bundles for pennies like. Probs the last time the **** dragged me up there...
they locked the burger woman in her black hut in the gallowgate end... The black one in the corner that backed onto the east stand.....anyway she was only released when the boys in blue stormed the hut as smoke from the burgers was bellowing out....jeseus when I think back...ffs they could of killed her.
seen a toon fan run full length of roker park pitch after high jinx in the fullwell end then dived into wor end and climb the floodlight frame.....mad as a ****ing hatter.
Travelling in a transit van to Southampton, and doing 60, one of our lot wound down the passenger window and felled a hitchhiker with a can of beer...ffs
Landlord of a pub in blackburn...threw a cs gas cannister into the bar he owned because he thought us and the Blackburn fans were going to kick off... Which we weren't...subsequently he was nicked and his boozer shut...the daft ****.....
In the Mackem end at Roker with my mate, knowing that a mob of about 50 of our lot were just about to kick off....which they did. We weren't with them, don't get involved in fisticuffs.

Ah the good old days.....went to watch Gateshead at Wembley a couple of years ago and saw a load of old mates, about fifty of them who all used to follow the toon. What a day, three hours in the green man pub beforehand
Late 1970's was watching NUFC away at Charlton. Segregation wasn't brilliant and home fans were coming in same part of ground as Newcastle fans. The side opposite the huge green bank they used to have. I had started chatting to this huge mountain of a Newcastle fan who was with his girlfriend when she got jostled by a few Charlton fans who were giving it large at a group of about 5 Newcastle fans. As nice as ninepence he said to me "excuse me for a moment", took his coat off and gave it to his girlfriend and said to her "I'll just be a minute" and then waded in to the Charlton fans sending them scattering. Unfortunately for him the Police then waded in and dragged him off. His girlfriend ever so calmly turned to me and apologised and said she'd have to go and try and get him out and left following where the Police had gone. Often wondered if he ever got out.
