During the 70’s I lost count of the number of times I lost my shoes during “knees up mother Brown” in the Brummie Rd.

I ended up on my a r s e a few times and it was terrifying yet adrenalin filled madness that I loved.

You had to learn to ride the wave of bodies,being young helped!

Anybody standing within ten feet of a crash barrier was a moron.

No surprise to me that so many died at Hillsborough........in hindsight I was in the middle of a death trap at every home match.
