Ted, it was white, I remember my parents arguing about getting white because any dirt would always show up.
Don't think either of them expected blood all over it within the first few days of purchase though.

Scottish Cup Final 1980. The captain of Cowdenbeath was holding the cup doing a lap of honour round Hampden Park. The cheers were ringing round the Blue Brazil after a stunning 4-1 victory over Glasgow Celtic.
After he woke up, he found himself in a gutter in the centre of the town covered in his own vomit and piss.

The closest I ever came to departing this mortal coil. Fell asleep at the wheel and drove a pickup off a 800' cliff close to Cape Town, SA. The angel on duty turned me away at the pearly gates and dumped me unconscious in a blackthorn bush several dozen yards down the cliff-face. I hadn't been wearing a seatbelt and came out through the windscreen as the car rotated over my head.
So don't believe all that crap that seat-belts save lives.

One of my local cafes near work had things like "Lasangar - £2.99" and "Boiled - £2.50" with no indication of what it was that had actually been boiled, liver, potatoes, who knows, presumably not the Lasangar.
There were cobwebs holding much of it together, in the case of one of the doors I think literally.
Was a little backroom where people of all ages seemed to be nursing a cup of tea for hours watching the likes of Topcat.
Went in there once and the woman my who ran the place sat us down and pulled out the last bit of cough lozenge she was sucking and put it on the top of a pyramid of cigarette ash, which sent some of the ash tumbling onto the the table. That was my abiding memory of the place.
That wasn't 1980 though so apologies to the OP.

My Mum and Dad had just bought a brand new front room carpet, not the sort of thing they could stretch to normally, it was quite a big thing.
Say on the floor watching the game, so nervous that I kept running my hands/knuckles up and down the floor for most of the game, was only after the 90th minute that I noticed blood all over the brand new carpet.

Went freelance -started in Lower Regent Street and discovered Wards Irish bar on Piccadilly Circus...what a great drinking hole that was -No longer there now ,their bacon and cabbage couldn't be rivalled!
Celebrated my new job by buying a brand new Honda 1000 and drove all the way down to Barcelona with my girlfriend- I still have the bike but not the girl
Trevor at Wembley and all the games up to the final,starting at Leyton Orient - Elland Road was the highlight

This is the one that hooked me Swiss. John Peel was partially responsible for a whole bunch of bands getting wider recognition. KJ, the Cure, Joy Division etc. etc.
