Most of them, and very likely have the programmes too.

 

Why the thread though? It's like asking if anyone ever owned a black cat.

 

Did you ? :lol:

yes to:

any pre season friendly in Sweden/Norway

that time Latics played Bradford City at Odsal Stadium

September 1980 vs Sheffield Wednesday

 

 

eeeeh, that last 'un - that was a day that burns in the memory. If you're after the programme I probably left it on the Chaddy End floor during one of those jolly fun stampedes.

I've got some heavy duty stuff on the Sweden tour but to protect marriages, reputations,employment prospects and whats left of my kneecaps "what goes on on tour, stays on tour"

The thing that sticks in my head about the Odsal game is the ref being really camp and blowing Latics fans kisses when they were abusing him as he came off at half time.

Sheff Wed - panic, fear, violence, anger,cushions (in no particular order)

they were quite memorable dates, I was just wondering, seeing if anyone had any interesting tales to tell, I was a bit bored

 

 

The Liverpool FA Cup match was the first time I was confronted by a knife weilding 70's holigan inside the ground! and guess what the scouse stewards turned a blind eye. Outside the ground, especially Stanley Park where the coaches were parked was airy also with both Liverpool and Everton Holigans.

 

As for the match Latics gave a good account of themselves against what was the best side around at those times. David Shaw scoring into the Kop as I recall.

Things that stick in my mind from Odsal were, the pitch being like a stale piece if bread with 4 curled up corners. Don Goodman being permanently offside (this being at a time when JR said we didn't play the offside trap merely condensed the pitch) and it kicking off after the match, depending on where one parked one's car, it may have involved a fraught journey back to it, I think InspectorMorose may fall into this category.

ahhh yes, I forgot about the turned up corners at Odsal. Very odd. I have no recollection of it kicking off but then again I was on the Barlows express - free to flick the v's and then get my nice police escort leaving others less fortunate to brave the car park.

 

 

The only problem with that HS was when the escort evaporated or was none existent, a couple of 'em I recall. The Barlows getting bricked at Stamford Bridge on the road that takes you back towards Earls Court, not a Copper in sight and being frozen on one where some Reading scrote actually managed to smash a window. Although fortunately not sat in the immediate vicinity of the icy draught it was a long cold drive to Warwick services tho' to pick up a replacement coach.
