Topic: 65' Cup Final pitch invader!

[mikeb58]

Don't think I've seen the b/w highlights of the 1965 FA Cup final for years, and seen it today on LFC TV and it included the full footage of Wembley's first ever pitch invader.

It took 6 burly coppers to get this famous red off the pitch, but he still managed to shake his rattle as he disappeared off the pitch.

Everton tried to claim they boasted the first Wembley pitch invader the following year, and that fan became a cult hero ( forget his name at the moment though !)

So who was the red that invaded the pitch, anyone know who he was and what became of him?

By the way, watching that match again, just realised what a thuggish challenge Bobby Collins made on Gerry Byrne in the 3rd minute, it's not often somebody breaks your collar bone and nearly your leg with the one challenge !

I forget his name but I think its been covered on RAWK before. The Everton fan the following year actually knocked one of the policeman's hats off before being taken down with a great rugby tackle!

I love the BBC commentary on that incident!

Or when Billy Bremner was through on goal and was flaggged offside, the commentary was something like ' he's off side, he's offside, don't worry...he's offside'

Yes, wasn't he involved in a killing ?  died in Police custody ? or perhaps a member of his family

I played with a band there in the early 80's.
we set up and there was a gang of fellas in a card school behind us and one of them said - "You's better be good, otherwise (he holds a bottle up) you'll get one of these thrown at yer"..
Luckily enough we went down a storm and played there a few more times..

That was at the end of our street. Before it was pulled down a mates darts team played a fixture there. He went to the bar and saw a sign saying: LAST ORDERS 8.30. He said to the girl, that's a bit early love, why's that? She said, pointing to a nearby table Cos them fuckin twats over there order 10 pints each at closing time!
