Chapter Thirteen

Big Boys and Huddersfield Abroad

A couple of things happened to me around this mid to late period that had huge effects on the rest of my life.

On coming home I met my then first wife to be. She came from a well to do family and I must have thought that this was an escape from the messing about that I was going through. We had a quick courting period followed by our engagement. This was held at the Wheel in Golcar and again, the lads did me proud. We had a room above the pub and I do not know how it started but a fight at the end of the night began between known friends, this escalated and got a bit out of hand, knives were drawn and arrest were made. I spent that night in hospital with a friend who had to be revived several times on the trolley, he nearly died. This makes you think out aloud over things like this and I was really scared when this happened. To see someone in front of you like that nearly losing his life is very scary. Gary is ok now but our friendship over that episode became strained and I only ever saw him twice after that.

Life carried on and a big one was on its way to Leeds road. It was Millwall, one of the big boy brigade. I had seen the stories on TV about this lot and also it was still a talking point about the Luton game. All the lads had turned out for this one and we scoured the streets looking for them before the match. We had heard rumours that they were about but this turned out to be a no go. Inside the ground about twenty of us had gone to the terracing next to the open end. They had brought a decent team of around three hundred up and were making some noise. The final whistle went and a few of their boys started getting onto the pitch, not to be left out and hoping for a good row we all got onto the pitch and started running over to them, a few more from the terracing joined us. They noticed that they had company and were only too willing to take us on. Shouts from the team on hold it and don’t let the cockney fuckers have us were coming through. More of their lot were getting onto the pitch and I thought fucking hell we’re well outnumbered here. A big black lad led them and all of a sudden they started backing off, what the fuck’s happening here. I looked around and saw a beautiful sight I will never forget, all the cowshed had seen our little charge at these lot and thought fuck it, we’re having some, around three hundred lads plus shirts were tramming it down the full length of the pitch to join us, the first thirty or so lads all backed off
