Goodness me! I was there and remember that guy getting thrown out. There had been disturbances in the Gwladys Street for quite a while and then two or three were thrown out. I'm pretty certain it had nothing to do with Burnley fans and was a local issue.

Notice the sartorial elegance, right down to the tie.

Better class of knobhead in those days.

Needs to have done some sit ups though

Is that why they play the music from "Z Cars" as the players run out?

Is it me or is there a face on his body? Looks like a minion or something.

He was a campaigner for male breastfeeding

Looks like his hooter caught a good un too.
Was Lochhead playing?

I was about to comment that his belly looks shocked and disappointed

The belly is sad because it never got to see the game. Poor belly.

Also a song called Sugar Sugar was Number One at the time. Looks like belly had more than a bowl full - maybe this is another reason why poor belly looks so despondent?

Sure that's not you funky ??? More than a passing likeness there mate ???????

I remember going on a Special train , I think in 1974 . Train went to Kirkdale.

Remember a Claret being stabbed on way back to station. Other Evertonians headed for station but after news of the stabbing shall we simply say that Burnley struck first

You need to get to Specsavers pal. Besides, I wasn't that shape in those days.

PS Nor was I a thug, just to put the record straight.
