First time I had beer spilt down me at the football, a delightful experience. The culprit was a pissed up Chelsea fan ... 'infiltrated all parts of the ground' ... indeed.

Amusingly, Frank Worthington included Chris Hutchings in his "Non-Trenches" eleven...
Me too, and Friday night in Brighton beforehand.
Remember it well, Chelsea had virtually a completely new team, and were expected to need some time to jell, but hit the ground running and won the league.
The segregation was non existent, entering the SW terrace turnstile it was obvious that Chelsea fans were being allowed in as well, and it was only a matter of time before everything kicked off.

Good memories.
Was the first game I went to on my own, without my Grandad, was 14 at the time. Can't imagine too many 14yo being allowed to that sort of game now, on their own.
As the pitch invasion went on, I stayed round by the club shop, and got some of the players autographs and they left the ground. Was quite please with myself.
Got a right telling off from Mum when I got home. She had heard about the riot on TV and had expected a phone call at least from me. I didn't know what the fuss was all about

A different kind of pasty
Sadly missed most home matches between 82 and 86 as in the RAF based in Lincolnshire. Did quite a few aways from there though.

Apologies I hadn't realised until now that I had cropped it too low. https://thegoldstonewrap.com/

Our usual place back then was near the top of the old East Terrace North - right by the old away pen. No idea why but with a few minutes to go my Dad turned to me and told me to pick up my things as we were leaving. He never left games early but obviously sensed something was up. We got out to Hove Park to hear the noise of what turned out to be Chelsea fans charging around. When we saw the pictures the Chelsea fans had came straight through where we had been standing and we would have been very early collateral damage!
I was at that game too, in the Boro end! Went on the spur of the moment and paid on the gate to get in - amazing really. Was still in the ground 2 hours after the game ended, happy days!
Another bizarre Chelsea fact... was at The Old Den on the last day of the 89-90 season - Millwall's last game in the top flight... against Chelsea - who on earth thought that was good scheduling?!
Same era, the 1980 cup final in Glasgow, the entire riot was broadcast live in terrestrial TV. It led to huge changes in managing football matches north of the border.

The Honey Monster said nothing, dealt a decisive blow with his left, the Chelsea supporter didn't get up again and I don't think THM even put the beer down that he was holding in his right hand.
Sheer poetry OzMike, sheer poetry. Do you know my mate Simon the brickie, down in Perth?
