Which meant that a swift walk got us to the Sacks of Potatoes in Gosta Green just as they opened at five, for egg and chips and pints of Springfield, then on to the Bull and/or the Old Royal in time for the bloke touring the pubs selling the Argus.

Before all day drinking we would walk it into town for the  pubs  that opened at half 5 such as the exchange under the ramp going up to new st , the shakespere , the windsor , the costers or the red lion

Standing on the Holte End and getting a whiff of one of those God-Awful farts that smelled like the perpetrator had followed through and shit themselves.I definitely don't smell them now , maybe they disappeared when it went all seater or my sense of smell has diminished over the years.

it would be  indecent assault now and was then really but remember in the 70s at the back of the holte  if there was a bird there  sometimes 5 or 6 villa fans  would all try to feel her tits at the same time and she would scream and laugh
