Euro 96 Banners

[Guest Jack the Hat]

During Euro 96 at Hillsborough - Did anyone manage to 'acquire' a banner. If so how? And who is this guy on the banner I have? (this isn't my banner - mine says Sheffield)

Got all 5, you could buy the set for a tenner from Sheffield council after they took them down after the tounament. I think that the image is Billy Meredith.

I got one - not getting it out from a box at the back of my garage but it was green and red mainly. Shinned up one of the lampposts and ripped it down while drinking with Danish fans in Hillsborough Park.

How good were those Danish fans. 

After the Croatia match  (which they lost 3-0) they came into Hillsborough on a Saturday night, I expected bother but everyone one of em were class, buying rounds, giving English their hats and scarves etc.

 

Some of the lads who originally were a bit gobby about them being in Hillsborough on a Saturday night ended up drinking, singing and dancing with em. 

Top Roligans as they called themselves.

Worked on High Street at the time, remember the Danish fans drinking Cavells dry.
