1977
Picture 1: Original ticket for the HSV - FC St. Pauli game, Volksparkstadion 09.09.1977
I could build a legend here but people would proof me wrong
1. Yes, i was there (aged 13 and not yet into punk)
2. Yes, i put the skull stamp on the ticket (aged 13 and years before it became the unofficial/official logo of the FC St. Pauli)
3. I was in the "Block E" (famed by Slime on their 2nd LP) and that proves me ... arrgh, forget it! I was there with my big brother and he is a HSV Supporter (i allready saw 4 St. Pauli games back then). But, yes, i still have a jeans jacket with a big HSV patch and a spray painted Ramones logo that i did wear 1978 and 1979 until HSV fans started to hackle me (and being a punk was unsafe near their ground).
4. St. Pauli did win 2:0 and subsequently went down into 2nd League again.
But i can assure you that punk in Hamburg to a certain extend was allways football sensitive...
