This was 'The Green'. Effectively a traffic island breaking up a non too busy road. It was Wembley/Elland Road/Lords/Montreal 76/Tour De France course. I've spoken of it before on here. Tour De France race was Freddy Merckx, Barry Sheen (as we'd run out of cyclists after one), Mick Grant and Evel Knievel.
It was on that very spot by my right arm that I was standing when Flixborough exploded in June '74. Never heard a noise like it since and hope I never do again.
