Swindon Town has had problems with hooliganism since the 1970s, with the first known group being called the Swindon Town Aggro Boys (STAB).[95] In a home game against Wrexham in March 1978, STAB were responsible for pelting the opposing goalkeeper with darts, stones and a golf ball.[96] Club chairman Cecil Green later proclaimed: "We intend to stamp out this thuggery. The incidents were diabolical."[95] A new hooligan gang emerged in the 1980s, the Swindon Southside Firm (SSF), who were named after the area of terracing they occupied.[95] In a match at Northampton Town, then manager Lou Macari walked straight into a group of more than 100 SSF members chasing Northampton fans up the street. Macari said the incident was "worse than a Celtic–Rangers game".[95]

Mark Corrigan : This isn't the Matterhorn, Jeremy, it's the Quantocks, nobody dies in the Quantocks. If we're very unlucky we might have wandered onto Exmoor, but...
Jeremy Usborne : Exmoor? The moors? The barren moors, the moors murderers? We could easily die on a moor!

Soph wants to stay at mine tonight. She’ll probably have another go at me about why I have a calendar of the Hollyoaks girls on my wall. I have to hide it in a drawer every time she comes over, and when she leaves I have to open the drawer to get it back out again, and Mandy Hutchinson’s looking at me like ‘Why are you so ashamed of us?'

@John Price you probably don't get the Hollyoaks reference

RIP John Madden. He was a iconic coach during the 70's, Ghost to the Post, Sea of Hands, and then became the voice for what seemed all the big games that mattered during the 80's and most of the 90's while working for CBS then FOX.
