Rough transcript of Mike discussing the incident on the podcast, as picked up by The Times
“A guy was there the whole time, smashed out of his face, literally didn’t watch any of the game anyway, he was just too busy shouting at supporters that they should be standing on their feet, [he] ends up getting into a fight with another one that’s straight behind my seat.
“It got to a stage where this guy literally was trying to pile this guy in the face; there was a kid next to us; there was a kid on the other side crying because he couldn’t see the game because of all the guys stood in the galley way.
“I had to pull these guys apart. I said to one of them, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ And he wandered off, blood all over him. The guy on the floor had blood all over him.”
He added: “The amount of just s***, litter, people who just generally didn’t seem to care about anything. It’s a small minority but it’s unfortunately the minority that you only remember.”
Mike also revealed how it took "forever" to enter the Wembley stadium, because "spectators had taken photographs of tickets on their phone and were trying to convince guards to let them enter with them".
“Some people with actual tickets couldn’t get through because their mate had obviously taken a photo of it and had used it to get through and you can only get through once, so people were then trying to get double people through the turnstiles,” he said.
“I was just like, you know, these kids, what are they learning about going to a live football game? I was trying to put some balance on it but there wasn’t balance, it was just . . . And then going out and seeing the amount of smashed bottles on the way out, you could feel people being nervous walking out of there.
“We all knew that if England won, it would be the best night ever, if they lost, it’s like board up your shops. Why do we have to have that mentality?”
