VAR Again

I was at that game. Terry McDermott scored them both. That was the game where Tosh wore his Liverpool #9 shirt because Shankley had died a few days earlier. We were packed in so tight, I couldn't move or barely breathe. 😲😲😲
Number 10. Shanks had died in the week and some arsehole started singing ‘Shankly’s dead’ during the minute of silence. Walking back through the park was bloody scary. I also remember being squeezed but not realising the danger.

My recollection of the minute's silence was someone shouting "burn the bastard" Aye, we had some nice fans in those days. 🤮 being squashed in that densely was scary, you can see now how a Hillsborough could easily happen in those days.

When a goal was scored, the whole crowd used to rush forward about twenty feet in one solid masse. You had no choice, you just went. If you were unlucky, you'd leave your shoes behind.
