Probably the most packed terrace i ever stood on, absolutely ridiculous really.

He was some goalscorer though in the age when the tackles went in.
Long before " he felt a touch and was entitled to go down" shite was ever thought off.

Made all the better by still being able to buy a pint at a game. That was some atmosphere.

I remember a few years back Charlie Miller was almost clean through, was fouled in the box but tried to stay on his feet. Due to the foul, he only got a half-arsed shot away. No problem for the keeper. After the game, the ref was reported as saying to our gaffer "If he had gone down, I'd have awarded a penalty".

Either you're fouled or you're not. Whether someone goes down or not is irrelevant. It's pish like that from the ref that encourages players to try and "win" a penalty. Boils my piss.

Probably surprising for younger fans to see Mo save the shot on the line and stay on the park. IIRC it was about a year after that game that the rule changed to an automatic red.
