In 1988 they made colin west work at the club shop they made him carry a box of bone china wednesday cups I did hear he dropped them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronior Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 This is me and my brother (flanked by our Man Utd-supporting associates) outside the Owls Shop on our first trip to Hillsborough in the autumn of 1991 ... it was the 3-2 Jemson game, so not a bad first visit. The five of us made up a hooligan firm that was feared up and down the land at the time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was on the back of the South Stand with a counter straight in front of you as you walked in and drawers full of stuff to buy.. I definately don't remember this. It's way before my time. The photo is obviously in black and white, but I'm fairly certain that there is a lot of pink in that photo. Or is it red? I'll have to zoom in.

Also pleased to say that my grandma, Joan, is still going strong at 96 years old. They've certainly got some stories to tell about their times there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say about their time there I reckon they could write a book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
