Boxing Day Massacre ('79)

[SallyKate]

I like to recall the BDM from time to time. Not all the time but occasionally, like I do with all good times. (Rare for all South Yorkshire teams throughout the years I admit)

Having been born in 1959 I'd be 20 then and stood on the East Bank with my Mom, Dad,aunties, uncles and sisters. If I recall Wednesday and United fans (United mostly as they truly expected to win considering the relative league positions at the time - not at the end of the season) were talking and singing of it as going to be their BDM before the match. However, we got to sing on after the result meant the song became ours in reality forever and ever amen. Ah the Casablanca feel of football romance - it let's you down at times and lifts too - but whatever some may say "we'll always have the BDM."

Over the years we've had some good derbies with United; we haven't won them all, but the BDM, double and the semi final are 'the biggies' for me. No matter what anyone says the can't take that away from me.

It landed on my end of Bell...
Ding Dong.

Wear your hair like Stevie May

Catch a bright Star
You can't go wrong
Bang a Blade

The
Donkey
Bang
A
Ass..
