The david o leary era.

His babies, the slick football, exciting signings, attacking mentality (even when we were 1 up against the big boys of europe!) and finaly the pre-season games when leeds used to come over here to ireland.

I only get to elland road 3 or 4 times a year as its so expensive, but it was well worth the money when we were battering teams in the top flight!!

That said im still going to this day and still get just as excited before every trip!

See you all at brighton !!!

Was worse a couple of years ago though when ryanair's flight time home was too early in the evening. Meant a train to manc land :-/

It was all ticket.

Had to turn up with all your tokens from the programmes to prove you'd been to enough home games.

Maybe you weren't there, which would explain your obsession with Norman Hunter being a midfielder?

Nope - just checked with mates who were with me. We paid on Lowfields turnstiles.
And yes, I was there. Have memories of a drunken celtic fan telling me to put my union jack LUFC flag away, or he'd stick it up my arse.
Great fans the Celtic - threatening a kid :roll:

And Norm was left half.

Big Jack was a centre half. Centre midfield in your world then.

Still impressive though when you consider many who live a stone-throw away from ER can't be bothered to turn up & support their team. Quite a few on here don't attend 3 or 4 games a season

Well done Eirewhite :tup:
