An oldie. Theres a circus in the town, in the town. Kevin Keegan is the clown, is the clown. Arthur Cox has got the ****ing pox. And Newcastles going down, going down.
what's the time over at yours Comm? You on the pop (non blue) kind? I've just jumped on my drinking horse... but won't punch it rest assured.
Harking back to darker days in football, but this one always used to make me smile (even though it probably shouldn't). I was in the old Leazes end that day and the burning (think it was a small rug) went over my head and into the West Ham fans. I remember going home all excited and telling my dad all about it, only to get one hell of a telling off, and threatened with not being allowed to go on my own anymore, for going into the Leazes instead of the West Paddock..... He's only a poor little Hammer His clothes are all tattered and torn He came for a fight So we set him alight And now he don't come anymore Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he's only a poor little Hammer.......
I was too young and naive to fully understand what was going on, and certainly wouldn't have been 'boasting' about it to my dad if I had been older. It's a weird one. That song just brings back memories of going to St James' as a youngster. I didn't really know what I was joining in with and I never witnessed anything else up close and never travelled away as a kid. I do remember though, that same year (1980) my dad won the FA Cup Final tickets in the Northumbria FA raffle/lottery. He was a Northern League ref and was also secretary of the Tyneside Amateur league, and every year they would hold a draw to see which ref got 2 tickets from the Northumbran FA. My dad won in 1980 and 81, so took me both years - a big thing in those days. Anyway, as luck would have it we ended up in the West Ham end at Wembley. I remember my dad telling me not to speak a word from the moment we got on the tube before the game, all the way through the game, and on the tube back to Victoria - and we didn't. We spent all afternoon communicating with nudges and pointing. It seemed like overkill to me at the time, but looking back I don't suppose a Geordie accent would have been very popular with West ham fans in 1980.
I only know as ive watched the movie Cass. (Not bad in terms of ****ty football hooligan movies). They were not impressed with the fire lark and took revenge by turning over some social club. He eventually got sent to nick. Chants were a lot different then, i.e Harry Roberts is our friend, he kills coppers etc. Racist chants were the norm, but so was kicking **** out of each other inside and out of grounds. A lot has changed.
no. I know a lad that had a chat with him about it regarding the film they made.he said the production team wanted more northern team's in it so they picked Newcastle
