And then he relegates small and Albion in the same season and just for laughs throws in the home defeat to Altrincham as a bonus to us. I think that was his last match before going to Albion. Between them they lost 55 games out of 84 and conceded 162 goals. We played them at the sty immediately after he took over didn't we? Although I am not sure if he officially took over for that game or immediately afterwards. 0-1, Peter Withe. "You must be f***ing mad Saunders, Saunders". Boxing Day '82 at the sty was the nastiest atmosphere on the terraces. September or October 1983 was the nastiest atmosphere on the pitch in tose Saunders/SHA years.He was certainly hated for a few months but post-Rotterdam it was a case of "We've moved on, fuck him." In fact one of the most incredible aspects of that insane period was how little fuss was made when he came back with them. Compare that to what would have happened if Sirralex had walked out of Old Trafford and returned with Manchester City.

I was twelve Boxing Day '82 and the atmosphere was pure hate between rival supporters and supporters and rival players. I was in Australia when we played them in December '87. People who were there suggest I was probably just about the right distance away it was that bad.
Eye witnesses always mention the helicopters. It always makes me think of the desert scene in Capricorn One.

I was in Australia when we played them in December '87. People who were there suggest I was probably just about the right distance away it was that bad.Due to a cock-up over taxis we arrived at about 3.15 with a police helicopter hovering overhead and assorted dogs, horses and officers clearly regrouping for round two. After the game I was walking through the city centre with mayhem all around (it was the Saturday before Christmas) and it's the only time when I've thought society didn't deserve to have this thrust upon it.

Part of a run of 5 years when their best average was 8,500. I'm not laughing as I type that, honest.
