Djbemba I've been to grounds and it still exists. Was your main fear because (I assume) you're black, or just because of general football violence. There's a famous video of a supporter with a dart in his eye.
No, its in general.
They had all the thugs coming in just looking for a scrap. CCTV and good crowd control did not exist in the UK then and they had free reign. Sort of like how Eastern Europe and Russia is now. And Spain, Italy etc.
Any excuse for a fight would get it going. You didn't necessarily had to be black but it did not help.
