What they Said
"I turned to pick up my cap as the referee blew for time and something hit me in the face.
โI didn't know much about it.
โIโm okay now but it is a pity there is always someone in the crowd to spoil it for the rest.
โHe was a bloody good shot.
โIn fact, a better shot than Millwall.
โI was walking off and - bang. Just like that.
โI was conscious all the time but i didnโt quite understand what was happening.
โI thought at first that someone had hit me.
โItโs the first time anything like this has ever happened to me and nothing was thrown at me during the game.โ
Jimmy Cumbes after a large lump of asphalt thrown from the crowd hit him on the forehead.
---
โI did not see the incident, but I shall be making a report."
Referee Ron Crabb.
---
โThanks God it wasnโt two inches lower.
โIt was probably just one lunatic.
โYour first reaction is to want to get out there and fight everybody.โ
Vic Crowe.
