IAN HOUGH How did you feel the first time you went to the ground(stadium)? What year and match was it? I went to Old Trafford several times before I ever went into a match. My family lived close to the ground and I would go with my cousins. I loved seeing the cantilever at the corner as you walked round to Warwick Road. It was like a futuristic marvel to me. I was almost terrified of seeing it the first time, as if it was some kind of miracle. I even used to have dreams about it, and funnily enough I saw it very much as it is today, with escalators inside. Finally, I went into a game against Middlesbrough in 1978. I was 12 years old, which is quite old. United won 3-2, and I spent most of the match just peering towards the Stretford End to my right. It was a sunny day, and the Stretford End was shrouded in a silhouetted haze, under the old roof. My uncle Geoff took me, and we went in United Road Paddock, which was to be<strong>com</strong>e a main section the boys a couple of years later. I actually went to a Manchester City game before United, because a neighbour took me who was a blue. I knew it was inferior. The layout of the ground, the style of crush barriers and railings, the roofs. None of it looked as solid or good quality as my beloved Old Trafford. Who are your biggest rivals fan-wise? do you remember when & how everything started? The biggest rivalry changes as our most hated enemies rise and fall in the footballing totem. The main rivals, most United fans would agree, are Liverpool, Leeds and City. Historically, Liverpool have always been the biggest rivals, but now City have bought a couple of trophies the hatred has reared its head inside Manchester. I think the Liverpool rivalry was most intense because the two cities were the only ones sporting the casual wear for a few years, before the rest of Britain caught on. That made it better, because Liverpool fans thought they were the only ones who had a clue about the styles. How wrong they were! I remember playing Liverpool in ’79 and noticing that some of them were what we called “Perries”, and when we played them in 1980 they were all Perries. Thousands of boys, all decked out in Adidas Stan Smith and Lois jeans. It signalled a fashion race that led to massive battles between the stadiums and the train stations. I don’t think we’ll ever have anything like that again. Even if the size of the mobs increased again, the clothes are over 30 years old, so the novelty wouldn’t be the same. It was the most exciting era in football in my opinion. What is the most dangerous away match that you’ve been to? describe it... Everton, mainly because of the blades. The years from 1980 to 1983 seemed the worst to me. It was a long walk from Lime Street Station to Goodison Park, and you would be up against both Everton and Liverpool’s firms. The scousers were among the best-organized because they all knew each other so well. They’d split into very tidy little groups of about 40 lads, and there would be a lot of these different groups tag-teaming us all the way up Scotland Road. The police just seemed to melt away and leave us to it, which was fine if you were in a good mob but a nightmare if chaos had taken over. Finally, as you approached the ground the different scouse mobs would join up as one and just hammer us from all sides, throwing bricks, trying to slash people, etc. Even if you were in a police escort everything would all go to shit once you reached the junction near Stanley Park, and people would scatter, panicking, off in different directions.
