Colin Murray had the lad who'd received the letter on his show this morning. It's genuine and he has been given his ticket after meeting with club officials but expects to be closely monitored each home game.
Yes, couldn't believe it. Moved here about two months ago went into garden yesterday and two doors up had BBQ, three of them wearing tops. NE9 area too.
What he did whilst with that lot together with being an absolutely terrible professional footballer makes him, quite rightly, our current target of player hatred.
Watching BBC Breakfast News and they made a point of showing the front page of this morning's Sun as it didn't consider this newsworthy. Apparently it's mentioned on page 5.
Just watching a bit of video from the day on bbc news. A fan is carrying some advertising hoarding to use as a makeshift stretcher. As he runs past two lines of policemen watching fans dying one of the officers blatantly tries to block him. Sort of summed up what happened that and many other days during that era.
