Football was a dangerous, violent place in the 1970s — and the 1980s were a bit better but not by much. I remember going to the World Cup in Italy in 1990 and some MPs wanted England kicked out because of crowd hooliganism.
That kind of behaviour has largely gone now and the Premier League has been a big part of that, but sometimes you don’t realise how much has changed until you look back.
Whenever I look at old photos of myself during my playing days, the stands in the background are pretty empty.
