The Hillsborough Roar


Recommended Posts

Originated at the beginning of the 20th century and was heard at games with large crowds - the drawing below depicts one of its more famous outings - when we were 0-1 down to Arsenal in an FA Cup quarter-final.

 

A roar rose up from the crowd to get behind the players - rumour had it it could be heard at Bramall Lane, where Sheffield United were playing a reserve game.

 

We went on to win 2-1 and win the FA Cup.

 

Nowadays we're lucky to get half the 65,000 we got through the gates that day, but every now and then the Hillsborough Roar leaves a tingle on the back of the neck.

 

The noise made when the players came out of the tunnel against Wycombe was immense - I was stood at the front of the Kop and felt the full force of the Kop - wow.

 

Can't wait for tonight - the Hillsborough Roar will be back.

 

Come on Wednesday!

I've been after that print for years

 

The closest I've ever come to getting one was when I called into the programme mans shop on Leppings lane a couple of years ago to ask if he ever had them

 

He said he'd sold one 6 months ago

Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
