Been going to football since the late 60,s

Was a young boy back then, but football in the 70,s was nowhere near the experience it is today, home and away fans in the same pub would have resulted in a major ruck. I tememember some guy called Bernie?? Was meant to TOP MAN of the Barclay? But I was young and impressionable back then.

I do remember lots of National Front supporters back I'm the 80,s trying to stir things up, yes not a nice place going to footy back in the day
