At last, not seen anymore than the goals since the day, been hoping for highlights for ages.

Although we lost i loved every ( almost) minute , was 11 and fully kitted out in yellow and blue.

Also we see martin tyler 32 years ago, genoe's near disaster when the ball somehow slid under his body, interviews with lawrie and clough.

I was 12 at the time and my dad (who isn't into football) took me up on the train. We were in a large section of Saints fans that were in the middle of the Forest end. It must have been a section they couldn't sell and gave back ( or there was a ticketing cock-up). The forest fans behind us starting spitting down on us and then climbed into our section. It got a bit scary.

 

We left just before the final goal if I remember correctly, got accosted by some drunk forest fans who were trying to be friendly but were really p!ssed and they nicked my hat.

 

The journey back on the tube was all Saints, but the doors kept opening as we were going through the tunnels, stopping the train. The whole experience was a bit full-on for my dad who hasn't been to a game since, I loved it and have been going for the last 32 years.

Anyone remember the Saints fans who climbed out on the roof supports high above the crowd ? I remember one climbing back in and being pulled down by his legs by a policeman and cracking his face on a barrier, knocked him right out. Any sympathy we felt for him went right out the window when they gave him medical treatment right in front of us blocking our view for a few minutes. I remember my dad saying it served him right. Harder times !
