Moggys right about one thing, we had to go through a hard apprenticeship to qualify to even be accepted on this scene back in the 70's. I remember being 14 coming up to 15 and I went to a 'disco' at the Bradmore Arms in Wolverhampton, obviously we couldn't drink but I never drank til I was 18 anyway, but basically what happened was, I was wearing a shirt with a Wigan casino patch sewn on the chest, and this bloke came up to me - his name was Mick Perks, some old Wolvo people may remember him - and he must have been about 20 I guess, and we had this conversation:
him - "So you go to Wigan do you?"
me - "er..."
him - "have you ever been to Wigan?"
me - "erm, no I haven't"
him - "so why are you wearing a Wigan patch then? If I ever see you wearing that patch again I'll rip it off your f*cking shirt"
bastard...
