Quirks of the old East Stand

I was in there one night when we played Newcastle in the Cup, they had Mirandina a Brazilian big money signing playing, he danced past a couple of our midfielders before Briggsy sent him airborne with a flying tackle and he went sprawling across that red cinder track and smashed into the SS wall.
Some old guy who used to take great pleasure abusing opposition players stared down at him and said "Welcome to Blackpool, you Argentinean tvvat". We told him he was Brazilian but he wasn't having it. Mirandina was nearly crying, think we won 1-0 Tony Cunningham scored.

I went to the 2nd leg at St James Park where Mirandina got revenge & ripped us apart.
Lost 4 - 1
 
My uncle used to stand by one of the stanctions (posts) about level with the 20 yard line ,,,,My first game was against Chelsea 4-3...I was sat on the wall at the front !!

I can remember a guy in the early seventies with a megaphone gob who used to badmouth Micky Burns for ninety minutes every home game. You could here him starting up from outside the ground on his way in at about one minute to Three 0’Clock with “you’re bloody rubbish Burns” or something similar, always made us chuckle.

I wonder if it was the same fellah who surfaced in the West Paddock from time to time and gave similar treatment to Keith Dyson.

"You are a load of bloody rubbish Dyson" It would be followed when he appeared anywhere near the dugouts with an extra vehement "run off the pitch Dyson. You're bloody rubbish"
 
Think we had a few gobshxtes like that. There used to be a bloke on the Kop, Sheepskin jacket, who used to give the King pelters, "bloody rubbish, Suddick, Lazy sxd, Suddick, get him off."
