How times have changed. Very little diving, no stewards, back pass to goalies with them picking it up.

Huge crowd that day and no segregation....mucho fisticuffs in the ground between both sets of fans. Horrible trip back to the tube station trying to dodge all the nutters. On getting back to the station we saw a load of GTFC fans standing at the top of the bridge inside as a load of Brentford were coming up the other side at them. Cue madness as Town waded into them, thankfully, and me at the back wading over the bodies just happy to come through unscathed! Totally different world back then following Town away, especially in London where there could be up to a dozen or so different team's mobs raking through the tube system. Think I often came home with brown legged trousers on.
It's a fair old way from Griffin Park to the nearest tube station too.

Went to Griffin Park around that time. I had a black and white scarf. There was a large group of skinheads at the back of the covered stand behind the goal, wearing black and white scarfs. So we thought we would stand with them for safety. Turned out they were Fulham fans looking for the Town bootboys!

We were on TV another time that season, which was either on Anglia or Yorkshire (I can't remember which, but I'd guess Anglia given the opponents). It was at home v Cambridge I think. Around Easter. Pitch was really muddy. I ran on at the end and made my TV debut (along with 100s of other teenage urchins).

We won that one 2-1 with a last minute Mike Hickman goal. Attendance was around the 13K mark if memory serves me right. You could change stands back then and many of us moved to the osmond for the 2nd half. Either the day before or the day after we played Reading at home also.

The other game I remember being on TV during this period was the following season when we played Bournemouth at Home. It was one of the games on MOTD. We drew 1-1. Think they featured it because it was two up and coming managers: McMenemy and John Bond. Think Harry Redknapp played on the right wing for Bournemouth!

Most strange decision that, especially as the sub was super Jack Lewis if my memory serves me correctly.
