Fairly wild on the terraces back then, when you think about it.
It was simply, normal, at the time.
At least when the fighting was pushed back out on the streets you could eat your pasty/pie with only half a worry it would be knocked out of your hand, when previously it would 100% happen.
But of course society was much more violent in general. It's unimaginable now that you could get beaten up in the street for liking the wrong type of music. Or just walking into the environs of a skinhead. :hehe:
Today's nancyboy snowflakes wouldn't last 5 minutes on the streets of 1970s London.
