A Proper Anniversary

[USArab]

I was in the TC Keay, mental reaction to one one the best United goals ever, scored in our most important game ever. Was worried for my old mans safety in the mosh.
When Ralph chipped it there was a slight delay because it was so far out you kind of expected well the keeper must save that, but when you see it back on tv later obviously very different. It was a bit like when action on tv is slowed down then speeded up.
Incredible day, I admit I never thought I would see it, but we came a long long way from Clepington Park with no goal posts to our name to becoming Scottish Premiership Champions.

We were in the TC Keay end, Ralphs goal was sublime, other than the 94 SC Final the match felt like the longest match ever.

We landed up in Luggy’s Pub after the match, met Luggy and Boney for some banter. Luggy could hardly walk due to his hamstring problem. Not that he was bothered about it after the day he’d had.

Magic stuff!

And Wee Jum had them playing in a testimonial at Forfar the very next afternoon! Crazy stuff!

The turnstile operator said to me,"I have been told to shut and you cannie come in."I was 21 in the army and vaulted over before he finished his sentence.So it was 29,101 mate.

There was a half hearted charge by the Derry Boys to remove us,we were on the verge of winning the League at Dens,how do you think that went?.

I was in the Provie with a large bunch of arabs. We had to hide our scarves to gain entry via the turnstyles and, IIRC, we were pretty clandestine until Ralphie scored. Then we just erupted, and it was obvious there were loads of us in there. The Tangerine colours came out and the polis just let us get on with it. To be fair to the Dees that were alongside us, they just seemed to accept our presence and let us get on with it. Perfect hosts on the most special day for us.

I walked down past Tannadice after the game and stopped to look back up the street to see a mass of celebrating arabs. I said to myself, 'remember this scene' and it is safely secure in my memory ever since.

Champions of Scotland. Ralphie. What a day!

It shows up on the TV coverage when future Arab Legend Iain Ferguson scores for the Funny Lot and less than half of the Provie Road end ‘celebrates’ in the background. FACT.

Perfect hosts on the most special day for us.

And they were ready to draw on that wealth of past experience to make the Guard Of Honour Derby truly another special Title day to remember for the happy Arabs. Alas, we shall not now get a chance to enjoy their warm hospitality.








And likely not for a long time to come either.

I had a massive flag with me that could not be hidden.

Started going out with the now wife in Dec 82, in May 83 shes standing beside me in the T C Keay end watching United win the league and wondering why I'm in tears. I said to her at the time, I'll probably not see this ever again. Fantastic memories of that glorious day.

There is bound to be a photo out there somewhere with the Arabs in the Provie,there was at the time and my flag was definitely shown.
