Only special I can remember going on was to Rotherham on Easter Saturday 1982.
We tried to get on the one to Anfield in 1980 but it was booked up. Mates who did go said it arrived in Liverpool minus most of its windows.


For me this sums up the mentality of the minority of pillocks who got involved in trouble at football - they paid their money then smash up the train and then have to travel from Liverpool to Grimsby in the freezing bloody cold as a result of their stupidity.

It's Darwin awards stuff.

We were going to go on the leagueliner to Charlton but it was cancelled so we went by car instead. When we go there loads of their bovver boys surrounded us asking where the town mob was. They were expecting a load of boot boys on it.

The windows were (allegedly) smashed by Scousers  who knew exactly where to wait. I should've made that clear.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I was going to suggest the same.

The buses were surrounded by the scouse t**ts looking for trouble.

I was on the trains to Hull and Liverpool.  Also one to Barnsley.  There were quite a few in those days


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

I was on the 1980 Liverpool Special, I think our carriage was one of the few without a smashed window.

Also got targeted by Everton fans when waiting for a bus back to Lime Street.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
