I used to hang about at the WH Smith on New Street waiting for the Argus and then dash for my train back north. Could guarantee whilst reading it on the train I'd have people ask for scores and then if they could read it once I'd finished.

Toilet rolls being thrown into the goalmouth.
Goalkeepers wearing green jerseys, along with the same shorts/socks as the outfield players.
Deciding on the morning of a game whether you were going to travel away, never mind a home game!

I remember Colin Withers wearing all green for a few seasons - jersey, shorts and socks - and thinking it was really cool.

That's because it really was cool! As he approached the Holte there was a pungent smell of liniment too.
