I do remember Burnley.. vaguely! All kinds of stuff going on- gay bars, ejections, people swapping jumpers to try and evade identification to get back in, aforementioned Harrogate being sick in a bin right by the bar under the stand, all topped off by being told by a mounted copper “Look mate, just get out of Burnley”Remember when he went on went on the railway line at Burnley? And the speed metal on the way to soccer am? All sorts going on.
I also recall someone calling me up on the Monday saying I was on the front page of the Telegraph hanging out of the away end with the headlines “disgrace as thugs blacken city’s name” or something, and me being in a massive panic for about 30 mins as I was too pissed up to know what the hell I may or may not have done.. also seeing blurry Nokia phone pictures of me unconscious on the train with a Trinidad and Tobago flag draped over me.
I saw Burnley score from 3 different stands that day and ended up hurling abuse at Akinbiyi from the home stands, with the Burnley fans wondering if I had brass balls or a screw loose, just before being ejected again
