Just after 9/11 we were playing, I think, Reading. Anyway, whichever team it was, they had an American goalie. As he takes his place in goals at the start of the 2nd half at the Canton End, Dai stands up (we were sat behind him) and starts pointing at the guy and shouting at the top of his voice 'Osama! Osama! Osama! Bin! Bin! Laden! My dad, who was in his late 60s by then, stands up, rolls the Echo up and starts to beat Dai about the head with it. Dai turns around and says "You can't do that", to which my dad just kept on hitting him about the face and shoulders with the newspaper. "I'm off to get a steward" says Dai. "Go on then" was the replay as Dai was attacked with the Echo again. Needless to say he didn't get a steward, just sat down in his seat and didn't open his mouth for the rest of the 2nd half.
