I do remember Burnley.. vaguely! All kinds of stuff going on- gay bars, ejections, people swapping jumpers to try and evade identification to get back in, aforementioned Harrogate being sick in a bin right by the bar under the stand, all topped off by being told by a mounted copper “Look mate, just get out of Burnley”
I also recall someone calling me up on the Monday saying I was on the front page of the Telegraph hanging out of the away end with the headlines “disgrace as thugs blacken city’s name” or something, and me being in a massive panic for about 30 mins as I was too pissed up to know what the hell I may or may not have done.. also seeing blurry Nokia phone pictures of me unconscious on the train with a Trinidad and Tobago flag draped over me.
I saw Burnley score from 3 different stands that day and ended up hurling abuse at Akinbiyi from the home stands, with the Burnley fans wondering if I had brass balls or a screw loose, just before being ejected again
