My Albion mate was in the navy at the time and watched on board with loads of colleagues from all over the U.K. He told me they were all shocked by the sheer hatred emanating from the telly.

I have a vivid picture in my mind of several people getting booted down the steps of the Upper Trinity, that's how bad it got.

I was in the Upper Trinity that night and remember a fan punching his seat over and over. Bizarre.

My first evening on H&V, watching with two former members of this parish - Gypsum Fantastic and James Toner - watched in the pub in Paris run by the latter's partner. Quite the eye-opening introduction to this particular derby.

Like an idiot, I thought it would be fine to bring my six year old nephew. My abiding memory is of my dad dropping us off on Lichfield Road and feeling the malevolence in the air as soon as we got out of the car. We left the match around the same time as Joey Gudjonsson.

Fun Fact: Peter Crouch came on for Alan Wright right at the end and I believe this was the largest height difference between substitutes ever.

Talking to a friend who was at the match that night and was Birmingham, he was no softy but said that night he actually feared for his life,we were sitting in the trinity and could hear someone behind me giving it's a load of F's and B's, turned round and it was a young girl about 14,it seems it wasn't just the usual fighting mob up for it, but as someone said it was also the normal fans

It reminded me a lot of west ham away in the quarter final of the cup when everyone seemed up for it.

Nowhere near but clearly opened a few blooooose eyes that we are not some sort of private school shire knobs.

My son’s birthday. Strange, because the 1983 battle with Blues - Noel Blake head butt on MacMahon - fell on my birthday

I watched highlights of that on youtube recently. What a cracking watch, it looked much worse 40 years later than it did at the time, tbh.
