Keefaz Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Keegan leaving in the helicopter is still one of my few really strong memories from being a kid. It was ridiculous when you stop and think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brummiemag Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Didnt trelford get banned from St James for his own safety? He probably did, was he the ref against Brighton in the cup? That game against Brighton when we were robbed, was it a midweek cup replay in the early 1980's? If so I remember standing in the Gallowgate for that and when they scored there was complete silence apart from the comical sight of about 8 Brighton fans jumping around in the away part of the Leazes! I also remember going to Barnsley away in midweek around the same time period and we beat them 5 0, anyone remember that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Here's a question for you relics, Did you prefer how football was in the 80's to now? Would you rather go back to unlimited away followings, standing on the terraces, s*** grounds etc. rather than a money, top 4 dominated Premier league, all seater stadia, lack of atmosphere etc deffo the 80's.

I was at the 0-5 Barnsley game, I made friends with some lads from Barnsley and one came in our end for the game. He became a big Newcastle fan after that and followed us all over the country.
