Everton

Was your cousin slashed at one of the replays?

I can remember after one of the cup games coming out of the ground and as we headed towards our car the lad in front of me got slashed and the lad behind me. It was only the movement of his arm that he got every second person.
Yes before the night replay in early 88. I was walking in driving rain next to him and never saw who did it and they were gone down the road. Others along the road next to Stanley Park were also done. I followed his ambulance to the hospital - so many slashed fans that night. My cousin was still a kid. Copper told me he was lucky it was a clean blade and not a double.

Yeah, they had a thing about putting a match stick in between two blades so it couldn't be stitched.

What is going through someone's mind who thinks of that!!!

A more cowardly act I can't imagine.
