Birmingham Away , Always An Interesting Trip

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

1984 bedlam all day

1995 Paul Millar Wondergoal , snuffed out by a late penalty from a blatant dive

Cue more bedlam and the traditional friendly gesture of the burning of the union jack

Wolves was always a good old fashioned family day out too

Re: Birmingham Away , Always An Interesting Trip

I was behind the goal, in the Brum end, with my elder brother (god rest his soul), when “Superkid” (Trevor Francis) scored.

My brother had to sit me back down, as I weren’t to pleased :hehe:

Great memories

Was that the game we lost 2-0, and John Buchanan was hit by a bottle thrown from the crowd?

My memory tells me it was 2-0 and I think Francis scored very early in the game.

The whole stand we were in were chanting "Superkid, Superkid"

I've only been to St. Andrews once. I was at Aston Uni and went in the away end with a Middlesbrough supporting mate. Probably around 1979. The whole experience was a bit scary. Football was generally like that back then.

Went to Villa Park and Hawthorns a few times too, but neither had the same feeling of menace as Birmingham.

Just looked it up, nearly 50,000 in the ground and it was 2-0

1995 - was that the year that Barry Fry came running towards us only to be promptly chased back by a load of nutters who scaled the fence? Saw some disgusting scenes that day at New Street and on the way back.

we had to win our last two and hope others slipped up

Huge city following up at St Andrews that day

I was sitting on a wall outside the ground next to the lad that got a meat hook stuck in his neck at new street station

St John's Ambulance wanted him to go to hospital but he didn't seem that bothered 😕
