Not only in my City supporting life but probably my entire life. No football going on so thought I’d share it
ive got a new scar! Currently got 8 stitches in my face to go with my other face scars that needed stitches. And it brought back the one standout disaster day in my life
Villa away…. Think it was 97 or 98. Not sure. Think we lost! I’ll be brief… but it’s worth sharing
Rocket 3/4 pints then train to Brum. All going well. Decide to avoid main Cov group so get off train and go with 2 mates to a pub in Brum.You go down stairs to it and its by New st….No idea which one and never been back.
Had a couple of drinks may have got a bit gobb the locals but according to my 2 mates I was followed in by Blues fans and got sparked clean out in the toilet. They went in and took a kick in aswell. Teeth went through my face I woke up in an ambulance! I recall nothing other than the ambulance
checked myself out of hospital went to game covered in blood..no recollection of the game. now that alone was not good. But it went downhill.
caught the train back to Cov..,started to feel a bit better. Got off at Cov and one of my 2 mates saw a rucksack hidden on the platform with a can of beer poking out… so he went to pick it up and was just opening it when British transport police appeared all over the place and we got arrested.
In the interview at the station I was taken through the contents of the rucksack and asked if I recognised any of the items. In particular the £5k bag of crack cocaine that was part of an arranged pick up that night
now all of this would have resulted in some heavy charges had it not been for the guy who was due to pick it up asked in lost property for his rucksake. He got arrested, had his London flat raided and they found shit loads of drugs there.
Now there is comedy value here and I’ve got a decent scar across my chin. But I sometimes think of the half wit who went to pick the bag up and how I-never got an apology from West Mids police for the shit they put me through!!!
The new scar has a very tedious unrepeatable story behind it so I won’t bore you with that one!!!
