The air in the old Boleyn Ground, a place etched into the very fabric of East London's identity, was thick with anticipation on a drizzly Saturday afternoon in the late 1980s. The scent of Bovril mingled with the damp earth, and the roar of the claret-and-blue faithful was a visceral, physical force. To witness football then was to undertake a journey, a ritualistic pilgrimage to a cathedral of the working class, where the game was raw, immediate, and exclusively for those who could make the trip.
