I was there the night at the 100 club when Sid invented pogoing and he really did invent it - as he pogoed and came down he was smashing people with his elbows - we were off to the side but this caused the crowd to keep pushing into us - which made my cousin keep spilling his drink (incidentally he was the guy in the Melody Maker photo throwing the punch at the Nashville pistols gig) - this happened about three times and then my cousin exploded and hit Sid - the crowd parted and my cousin,his mate and me (hiding behind) had an empty bottle in his hand saying right 'who's first' to all the punks who were thinking of having a go - well nothing happened and the crowd closed up cause my cousins mad when he's had a few lagers- its the Irish in us - fracas over and next Sid Vicious comes up to us in the crowd and says to my cousin 'Hey do you wanna join my band?' to which my cousin told him to f*ck off.
