Yup, shoe. Not trainer. Went straight from work to the game. When Allison scored, the pushing and shoving was intense and I ended up well away from my starting place.
Anyhow, we were talking about social distancing and it made me think about the most squashed in I ever have been (it was either that night at Spurs or except maybe Juventus at Highbury in 1980 - "it's ****ing hot in here, it's...) 1980's style.
v Forest early 80s. . Last minute winner. Might have been Rix. There was a life threatening surge. Iirc
Everton Littlewoods cup semi - lost my shoe that day but somehow got it back. It was a few days after United in the cup and McLair's penalty. Has that come down yet?

I'm with you here. The Everton S/F wa sprobably the worst, I got crushed against a barrier and nearly passed out. Somebody pulled me clear, if we had had fences then it would have made Hillsborough look like a street party.

Given that such surges were a commonplace in the pre-Taylor Report era, it does seem genuinely extraordinary that anyone who had ever attended a football match could possibly have thought fencing supporters in was a good idea.
