Rupert: Remember Sutton Coldfield?

Todd: Yeah, we used to go down there when we started travelling out of town, getting a bit more adventurous!

Rupert: We used to go down there because they had a mob that ran with Villa and we needed Barrington down there. Because we were young, they could overpower us, but we’d keep going. If we had a fight and Barrington wasn’t there, we wished he was because he was like the strength in the firm.

Todd: We even went through periods where we used to have competitions to see who could knock the most people out. Barrington would say he’d done the most and I’d say, ‘No you haven’t, I have,’ and then Rupert would say he’d done the most but one of the others would say, ‘Yeah, but that geezer wasn’t completely unconscious!’ We were young and reckless.

Rupert: At West Ham v Birmingham 1984, I remember we were at the game and Barrington got kicked out. I also remember one night these Man Utd lads came walking past and started getting cocky. So we had words and they’ve gone, ‘See ya!’ Barrington and this other guy went and fucking wasted ’em! They gave it to ’em big-time just round the ramp on the entrance to the shopping centre. This was in 82/83. Boy, did they get beat!

I just love fighting! Anything for a fight! I was never interested in the game – I was just interested in a row before and after. I don’t really like football; pussies play football and roll around on the floor.
