glasgow jock Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Talking about old Scotland v England games at Hampden - any auld yin's like me also go to the games in 1987 & 1989, pretty feckin wild (particularly the '89 game) by far the worst crowd trouble i have witnessed. (just about every pub in Victoria Road & some in Shawlands where attacked) mental !! Prior to the 1987 game England didn't bring many fans north of the border at all IIRC ?

Remember the pie stall (I think)Â in the old east stand getting "attacked" by England fans at half time. I was in West Stand and remember them all running up the terracing in a big wave. What was that all about?? Also remember Viccy Road being a bit fiery afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember walking up past where Asda is, towards the police station, and seeing hundreds of bottles being thrown back and forth. It was like a scene from 300. And I clearly remember Scotland fans in the Celtic End throwing coins into the England end, and the policeman next to me, just a young guy, smirking to himself.

We were in the "Rangers end" in 1989 and I don't recall seeing any bother. My mate drove though, and those were the days when you could just bez into the Hampden car park for a couple of quid, so we were probably well out of the road of it. i remember in 85 a pocket of English nutters set up camp at the front of the Celtic end, and after a series of skirmishes were escorted out by the polis. As they were marched out up the slope past the old stand, the pipe band were waiting there to come on at half time. A kilted piper booted one of them up the erse to huge cheers   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only about 17 at the time, so it's quite possible my right arm was strong enough to thrown a coin the full length of the pitch. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
