Hah, tell me about it mate.

I too was hounded by these idiotic looking nerds who thought they looked good in their short jeans and their long Dr.Martens.

I was brought up on the Kimmy Park estate and most of my memories were of happy days playing footy on the streets with very little traffic to stop our games. It wasn't particularly rough living there as the estate wasn't all that old, but as soon as the Chislet youth club was opened, the "skinheads" thought it belonged to them and that's where all their "attacks" were planned, usually on me and my mates .... ****ers.
