Sure I have seen a old black and white photo somewhere of "Bonzo" (infamous troublemaker) in blood-soaked white stay press trousers shaking hands with Davy Boylen after confronting some Yorkie fans and getting stabbed up the backside.
Does he not now own a physio place or something must have got bored or older and wiser.

I think that incident with Bonzo was Lincoln a little bit before my time but heard others speak of it, regarding Leeds anyone who thinks they didn’t get plenty back is kidding themselves they got plenty back and if anything the next time they came ( far less numbers) they got terrorised. |

I was in the Upper Findus and cannot remember any seats being ripped out or under threat from Leeds fans.
I assure you that at the Imp end of the Upper Findus seats were indeed ripped out - one of the fornicators hit me! |

That incident was definitely at Lincoln I was only about 13 and went there on a special train with my dad and distinctly remember seeing him outside the station It was about 1970/71, a night match early-ish in the season as I recall which we lost (3-1 maybe) and there were lots of skirmishes on the way back from their ground to the station I think my dad was a bit surprised to see violence like that on the streets when all it was was a local derby.....an eye opener for me too as a young naïve Town fan |

Leeds were definitely in the Findus at the Imp end.... that's where I saw them when I was going through the turnstiles in to the Pontoon ( as I mentioned in my initial post on the game) It seems incredible really that it was so out of hand that game, but as others mention, a perfect storm First game of the season; first day with the new Findus stand; Leeds' first game in the 2nd tier after 20 imperious years or so in the top flight; a traditional Yorkshire sea-side destination on a bank holiday; a warm sunny day; booze galore and there you have it. BOOM!!! |

Didn't Town chase a load of Leeds lads off Donny station one year. Can't remember the match we were going to but if Leeds missed their train I'm sure we were doing some other club a favour.

Heard a story about Dave Pleasants (the armed robber) who carried out some slashing on the beach either fri or sat night as the leeds scum slept, always liked to think this one was true if anyone can confirm?

Happy to confirm it was Lincoln. It was a night time Football League Cup tie. Town lost 2-1. There was a retaken penalty for Town. Scored the first but missed the retake. |

Sorry Barra, you're wrong, twas 1971-2 and Lincoln gubbed us 3-0 on a Tuesday night. Absolute mayhem all game with Town fans desperate to get into the home fans end to have a pop at the Klan.
