RIP all those who died too young or in tragic circumstances.

Different times, different era hard to judge those times by today’s standards.

Fighting (whether physically or metaphorically) was was much more part of every day life back then not just at football but everywhere. The Westgate run in Wakefield at 2am on a Friday and Saturday night was a sight to behold.

One of the good things imho is that much of what is tolerated or accepted as being the right side of the line when I grew up is no longer which is the sign of progress in a civil society which is not to say it was all bad - I loved growing up in Leeds when I did - but racism, ***ism etc are now seen as being the wrong side of the line can’t be bad .......

but I still loved the belligerence and stubbornness of those times and more of a sense of knowing where you stood.
