Ah I must be a hooligan then, I ran onto the pitch with Rob Belton after Steele scored that first penalty against Southend in the Great Escape season I did use to shout a lot of abuse at refs/linesmen when I was in my teens but I dont think I'm too bad these days, I still have my moments tho, like that 'diving' incident with Luke at Bristol Rovers.
