... what a day., 24th February 1979.
There's not many players have a match named after them so it's great that a local lad should have that honour.
There was trouble all day at Central Station, on the way to SJP and on the way back.
The only ticket I could get was in the Mag section which I had to collect from a Mag pub in North Shields.
I kept completely quiet until Rowell smashed his first goal in ...
... after that I was abused and threatened for the entire match.
Incredibly it was the only time I've never seen any violence at a derby game and didn't hear about all the trouble until I watched Look North.
