My uncle tells a very similar story about us at White Hart Lane just before Hillsborough, said it was the most scared he's ever been inside a football ground and to this day he's amazed nobody was killed. Fucking mental that we created these situations and the solution seems pretty simple. My dad reckons the fences were the main issue.

Intermittent concrete carriers didn’t help either. As a young lad I personally had three experiences of being crushed/winded against them in the Gallowgate. They stopped you getting moved around knocked over in the surges but at some risk.

Was thinking if you were to create a 5 a side team of former managers we must be up there with having the best team? 

 

Ardilles

Gullit

Dalglish

Keegan

Shearer 

 

Subs: Bruce, J.Charlton

 

 

I'm struggling to think of any other team in the UK who have had better footballers as managers. 

 

Imagine the likes of Barcelona and Ajax would have good ones

McFaul 

Roeder 

Charlton 

Hughton 

Robson 

Souness 

Gullit 

Ardiles

Keegan 

Shearer 

Dalglish 

 

Manager: Joe Harvey.

Bruce was a really good player wasn't he? 

 

Don't know much about Hughton as a player but feel Bruce was better?

If Steve Bruce had been as good as Bobby Moore (which he wasn't), he'd still not get in my team, due to my perfectly rational hatred of that fat waste of skin.

Hughton was a pretty decent player, like.

TIL that John Carver is the name of some stupid American historical figure or something. So I was mildly amused while watching the horror movie Thanksgiving where the antagonist was wearinga  John Carver mask (sadly not the face of THE John Carver).

Stan Seymour, Joe Harvey or Joe Kinnear ahead of Roeder, no?

Stan Seymour was a forward and although a legendary figure at the club, he's not getting in ahead of Keegan, Shearer and Dalglish.

Joe Harvey was again, not a defender, more a left sided midfielder, could have played as a modern wing back, I suppose.

Kinnear is a good shout actually, he played for a decent Spurs side who won things.
