Random things you remember from hillsborough's past

[alanharper]

yeah apologies Alan my memory has got the better of me mate.

I'm usually right with the 80s stuff - can barely remember or have no memory at all of a lot of games I've attended from the last 15 years though!

[Guest Theboylangers]

I still think that one of our players got nailed on the half way line next to the North. Memory playing tricks on me again maybe!

the slightly chamfered top of the wall in front of the triangle on the kop the kids used to sit on - you had to get in early to get a place but you always felt you were slipping off

 

the tunnel out of the kop near the south stand when at big matches you couldn't put your feet on the ground as the crowd left the ground

 

sitting down on the concrete steps on the kop at the top side when there were 8,000 in the 55,000 capacity ground.

 

Phil Henson's white boots - we thought he'd tried em out in Firth Park and got the popular dog shitte at the time on em

Anyone wearing white boots in Firth Park would have got the poo kicked out of them...Firth Park Rangers FC 1967 - 70

Think it was Ian Nolan done by Justin Edinburgh

when you could go to a game and know for certain what colour strip the opposition would be wearing

Anyone remember Steve splash ?

[swinners]

Standing on the kop wall, literally pushing and shoving for your place - knowing your Da was there, stood on the floor beside you - ready to catch. My favourite memory!!!!

[Guest Gazzaswfc]

The 3 or 4 guys who used to sit on front row of leppings lane with there shirts off in the rain dancing as the teams come to the music

[Dick_Turpin]

Standing at the front of the Lep dangling my silk scarf that was tied to my wrist over the wall.

[belfast owl lad]

the guy with the banner that read,BOO,nowt else.

[SimonJ]

Walking down Leppings Lane towards the ground, programme seller on corner of Catch Bar Lane - you could hear him from miles away shouting

"Programmes..........Official Programmes"

Would always buy me programme from him, then stock up on sweets from the shop on the corner at the back of the North stand Leppings lane turnstiles

[Señor Sam]

Hot steaming cup of Bovril with a meat pie ( yes it had real meat in it !)

[Mickjj]

Haven't read through the whole thread and imagine it's already been mentioned, but I miss the big neon "Hillsborough" sign on Penistone Road

[Guest Gazzaswfc]

Waddle when he megged giggs & he was laughing the master teaching the pupil . The waddle game watching him humiliate David burrows was the most complete Wednesday performance ive ever seen at S6

[nevthelodgemoorowl]

Another record biggest sleep over when Joe Ashton opened the South stand for bed without breakfast for the sale of League Cup Final Tickets.

 

The crash that evening outside the gates when blunts in an open top didn't see the traffic flow had halted. They bumped the car in front and an unfortunate Blunt went over the bonnet sprawling into Penistone Road.

[Flat Owl]

Streakers

The plume of ripped up paper on the open Kop when the team ran out...
