My fat twat of an uncle insisting on leaving on 85 minutes even if it was 1-1 in the highest stakes game of the season. Thankfully he can barely waddle himself down the stairs for a mars bar these days.

A much later and even more cynical expression I think? But yes that's the one.

Think Jim Blyth may have had some kind of similar arrangement going on towards the end of his time with us.
Can't think of anyone else.

I remember going to the Sunderland FA cup-tie in 1963, the whole side of the Kop in Thackall Street was down and hundreds were pouring in about 7.00. The official gate was about 40000 but there were thousands outside. Luckily my dad got two season stand tickets.

League Cup Semi 2nd leg at West Ham. Ray Stewart on Peter Bodak, who had destroyed them 2nd half first leg. After that tackle Bodak looked like he didn't want to be on the pitch let alone have the ball.

As I recall, it was a sliding tackle that also involved a hefty punch into Bodaks ribs. On the blindside of the officials. Bodak certainly didnt want to know after that.

Mention of marching bands in the Hill era we used to get some great American ones at half time. Always sticks in my mind the size of the band members.How some of the Tuba players managed to get them round their body was amazing.The bands never had the regiment of British bands but great watching them more or less skipping rather than marching up and down the pitch.
