1982 and all that

we won promotion that year in the final game of the season (despite losing) and anyone who was there will know that we weren't so very far from a Hillsborough that day = an appalling terrace and tunnel combined with, by some margin, the nastiest police force I ever encountered on my travels. It could have happened on countless occasions - circumstances dictated though it just happened to be that particular semi-final.
