My wife and I were at that game, it was horrendous. Think that was the game that Andy Cole injured Phil Babb, who had to go off with the score 0-0? We live in the North East so it was a home game, and we have to put up with their crowing all the time, even though they’ve not much to crow about. Anyhow, after the game we walked back towards our car and were roundly abused by a load of geordies as we walked down Stowell Street (Chinatown). We got to where we’d parked the car, no car. To the police station, half a dozen people in a queue reporting their cars nicked - the North East in the 90’s was the car crime capital of Europe. Our car was found two days later in the suburb of Benwell, minus wheels, seats, steering wheel, and burnt out. Yeh, I don’t like Newcastle……
