Can't see me in any of those photos. I had a bleached flat-top haircut at the time, as did one of the mates I was with, so we were quite distinctive. I remember the Chelsea fans in the Canton Stand pelting us with coins as we passed them. That was a weird experience - a group of maybe fifty or sixty of us being led around the pitch to the Bob Bank by just a couple of coppers. Could have gone badly wrong, but I suspect most of us just wanted to get into the safety of the Bob Bank as quickly as possible by that stage (I know I did).

We were held for a few minutes in the players' tunnel before being led around the pitch. During that time, my little mate Vaughan got punched by a Chelsea fan leaning over from the enclosure. He had a hell of a day....
