Some might wonder what became of these hundreds of young people who were labelled "hooligans" at the time.

Well, Mrs Hall went on to enjoy a successful career as a police officer.

I bought an old 125cc Douglas for £30 in 1965, then traded it for a not-quite-so-old Vespa Sportique 150 a year later for "an undisclosed* sum".

I did not go to any of the mod/rocker rumbles.



*means I cannot remember.
