I was a kid at a Man Utd Liverpool game with my Dad and his mates in about 82/ 83 and a fight broke out outside old Trafford and I saw a disposable red Stanley knife fall to the ground. Still can see that in my mind to this day. I wasn’t scared coz I was with my Dad and his mates I actually thought it was exciting but when you hear about people getting slashed up you realise how crazy a time that was.

[@rogermellie8068]

My English teacher (utd fan) was slashed from his armpit to his hip by a scouser in the 1985 fa cup semi final after the match. Completely changed him as a person, went from being a cool young down with the kids teacher to being serious and moody and losing his rag a lot as I remember.

@@drezlove yes I was there, I was born in 1957, I can remember the chants from Cardiff supporters about Munich and United replied with Abervan. If its any consolation to you I did get chased by a dozen Cardiff fans at about 8 o'clock in the morning outside the station, maybe that's what you were referring to.

Boro gets mentioned twice in this video 1980 we had it with them previous to kick off on Ayresome Park Road backwards and forwards for what seemed likes ages , IMO Boro got the better of them , the unfortune incident when the wall fell down was nothing to do with hooliganism , it was because the Man U fans where held back in the Clive Road corner and it caused a build up of pressure against the wall and unfortunately 2 genuine fans i think they where husband and wife lost their lives , the worst violence i was ever involved in at Ayresome Park was against Sunderland in 1981 fucking mental that day , but the best firm i ever seen at Ayresome Park man to man was West Ham , not many in number but they where game as fuck IMO. The second mention of Boro was at The Riverside all game as fuck but the Police had it sorted that day really

[@davidclixby5840]

I was at the game and it was caused by a lot of boro fans outside the Clive road giving it large. The Utd fans tried to get out of the ground to have it with them but the police tried to keep them back, the Utd fans then pushed the police aside and started to push on the big gates keeping us in and the force made the concrete supports holding the gates to give way crushing the people walking past. The boro fans then scattered and were chased up the side streets by the Utd fans. I only found our people had died the next day. Tragic.
