Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I get Hamburg (a) Keegan and Anderlecht (a) 1977 mixed up a little but Anderlechct for me was 48 hours on a coach, the beer in Brussells, the Saints fans singing "Chanson D'Amour" to the bemused Belgian cops and Channon having a good goal ruled out for offside. (Years later there were allegations made that were never refuted that the ref took a bribe). The coach left at midnight from West End, Southampton - you can imagine what sort of state everyone was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember leaving SW London where I lived then driving to Soton to catch a coach which then went past the end of my road three hours later. The Singing on the Ferry was great and no one seemed to mind the 2 0 result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffer Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Yes I was there apart from the Result it was a great night and morning. Come on you Yellows I remember the police escorting all the coaches into town. Fantastic trip. Boat a bit rough on the way back. We left from the coach place at West End Colliseum I think.

I was with a nipper who threw up half an hour after leaving Southampton and lost his false teeth in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangely Brown Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 Anyone remember the huge hyper market the coaches parked in and the inevitable trolley race round the car park.....priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 I remember the mass game of footie in the car park at Dover. The bar staff flogging crates of beer on the boat and pocketing the dosh. What was scarey was the ground where the terraces were crumbling under your feet if you jumped up and down. How many times was Chanson D'amour played in the ground that night? The bar was packed in Ostend.....they made a fortune that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumush Posted 26 June, 2009 Share Posted 26 June, 2009 After we all had to sign a sobriety pledge when we bought our tickets,our coach left the Pirelli club in Eastleigh at 11 pm with 52 drunken Saints fans on it,and it went downhill from there.As FF & Ron said ,the highlight was " Chanson D'amour.Dont ask me about the game,I believe we lost.

One thing I do remember was that not too many people were upset by the result as they were there for the beer. The only other European Match I remember remember was a game down the Dell when I was in the Milton Road End against a team from Portugal who were 3 0 up after only a few minutes I think we drew 0 0 over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
