yeah, remember Cov well - we knew to get in the corners though, well away from 
behind the goals!
 
Worst for me was Tottingham away in the FA Cup 6th Round - stuck against a 
barrier for about 30 mins - off work for 3 days - felt like my guts were gonna 
cave in. Then  f***ing Garth fat face f*ck Crooks scored. Heavy afterwards too, 
but jeez, my guts after that!

I watched the documentary on ITV, and those climbing the walls at the 
turnstiles were just trying to get out of a crush developing there, in a 
similar fashion to those being lifted out of the back of the stand into the 
seats.

Anyone remember how packed it was in there for the Coventry game? Or the crush 
at the turnstiles at St Andrews when barriers collapsed, fences buckled? The 
day that poor lad was killed when that wall fell on him.

If the fence hadn't given way at those turnstiles to relieve the pressure that 
day, that would have been our Hillsborough. I'm used to being in surges and 
packed ends, but that was different. It became so packed outside those 
turnstiles my feet were off the floor, I couldn't raise my arms and had tunnel 
vision. I remember thinking "fuck, I'm going to die here". When I hear the 
Hillsborough survivors describing their experience, it always takes me back to 
that time in Birmingham, and how fucking lucky we probably were that day.
