"Take Willy and his friend Nicky to the Valley to see Sheffield Wednesday's second game of the season - against Charlton. Perfect afternoon for football. Sun, not a breath of wind and the pitch verdant and springy. Wednesday have a glorious and unequivocally deserved 3 - 0 victory.

Usual police presence outside - motorcycles, Alsatian dogs at the ready. The ever-present tension not relieved by their presence.
Up the main road, off which our car is parked a crowd suddenly starts to run. There are shouts, ugly faces contorted with rage, bricks and bottles thrown. The Police seem to do nothing.

I see a bottle tossed at the window of a house, another hurled from a van full of supporters, which lands and smashes beside a baby in a pram at a corner shop. Quite why the cruelty and hate behind the fighting can be so easily fanned, I don;t know. And the urge to destroy and damage is strong. It's almost entirely the work of boys from 13 - 18, with one or two sinister older ones stirring it up!"
