The ref runs away from the first 'challenge', only to run into Ken McNaught who has a pop at him! Gary Williams must have only been about eighteen then.

As a kid I lived on the same estate as Gary Shelton. He was a smashing bloke and would happily join in kickabouts on the field. We used to knock his door and pester him to come out to play. Ally Fucking Brown lived on the same estate but we only ever kicked things at his door.
