Our were far from saints but 1977 the police funnelled all the Man U fans into the town centre and they decided to go nuts around non football supporters and smash up most of the shops etc. That was a particular low point as there were no Leeds fans around.

When football violence is spoken of Man U tend to get a free pass in the media but they caused their fair share of trouble.

Historically, the northern counties tended not to get on which didn’t help but Leeds and Manchester especially so - even cricket games used to get a little tasty.
