drive down that part of harrow road 6 days a week, from harlesden to kensington, and i can honestly say i've never noticed mes pies....but i will be giving them a try. great watch from start to finish, the fellow deffinatley knows his onions.
i'd say so..... the same old faces at away games in the escorts and the regular faces where we made our independant travel to our favourite grounds outside london, like ipswich, norwich, derby, coventry and leicester. the big away games at the likes of tottenham, chelsea, arsenal and west ham you just looked for the main faces and aimed for them, stand with them and sometimes keep your mouth shut....it was hard to stay quiet in the north bank west ham, when we scored in an fa cup game mid 70's, 4 of us, but were left alone, we lost that game 2-1....ahem. big gary and VS, who both still go were handy have with you in them lawless days.
the leicester cup game i was actually 100 per cent certain we was gonna win that, until that joe waters turned up and popped in 2. dont think he done anything in his career after that....thanks joe....
all the chelsea games, home and away i enjoyed, bit hairy at times, especially the away games where i got clumped and had a knife pulled on me....all part and partial of the 70's. knew three of the girls that got injured when the kids pen crushed them at home to chelsea when we beat them 1-0 in the fa cup replay.
the long walk along seven sisters road to tottenham on boxing day, stood in the shelf, a good 0-0 draw that afternoon.
beating tottenham at home 3-1 in the league cup....first time i'd never seen tottenham taking the loft. amassed in the paddock,
beating sheff wed 8-2 in the league cup with our new score board going round like the clappers, then going out to plymouth at home 3-0.
those just off me head...plenty more. never missed home game that season and only 6 away....not bad for a 14/15 year old on our jacks.
that leeds away game was my first following qpr on my own. me and a mate, both of us 14 year olds went up on the special, buses to the ground, green line may i add. stood on that little cowshed terrace behind the goal....few leeds herberts next to us. had a rotten old pork pie at half time. remember snow on the pitch, and the streets outside were covered in it, probably would have been called off today... nearly missed the buses after the game, but a not so friendly copper loudly telling us where the buses were, got a few hairy looks from the leeds finest, but we were only kids. probably about 3 to 400 hundred of us on that special.
the norwich home game during the week, 2 0clock ko due to strikes i think, had to bunk off school and ponce the 8 bob kids fare to get in...40p todays market, of me school mates.....lost 2-1 .
