Amusing moments at Villa Park

[Pat McMahon]

Directed at Newcastle fans massed in the old Witton End and totally exposed to relentless,  freezing sleet and to the tune of "Those Were The Days":

"We hope your foreskins shrink".

I remember, that followed by - "we hope you f****g drown!"

Didn't we play them one Christmas late 70's and the fog came down so we couldn't see the Witton from the Holte?
Won 2-1 I think - I had food poisoning that night - bastard Geordies.

WW, I think it was the wonderful 1976-77 season as I was in the Witton End with my dad and he stopped going shortly after because of unemployment. IIRC, it may even have been the game after the Liverpool euphoria, and a 3-1 win at Leeds the previous weekend. A great birthday week for me!

And yes, we nearly drowned, and yes, my foreskin definitely shrank that afternoon.

Sorry gents not at VP but the Sty. Blues were playing QPR about 1967 and at half time there was a fashion parade consisting of models parading around the cinder track in mini dresses.

In the Sunday Mercury next day their ace reporter said "The crowd did not appreciate this display and kept chanting Get them off!

I remember reading about that. They were there to advertise a boutique called Fanny.

Manna from heaven when it came to giving the bluenoses at school a hard time on Monday.
