Tony Prince (DMC founder), talking about the 1990 world finals at Wembley Arena in the UK (7000 capacity), and some ram-raiders trying to get in by driving a car through the stage door:
“I’m just about to go on stage and introduce somebody and two of our guys came running up to me saying, ‘There’s some ram-raiding going on in the back, we’re gonna go and help.’
“I said, ‘You’re not, you’re gonna stay here,’ but they ran off and left me to it. It was the Boo-Ya Tribe that stopped it in the end. They went down and pushed the doors shut and saved the day. You wouldn’t want to break the door down and find them on the other side of it! We were glad they were there that night, I can tell you.”
Apparently Wembley Arena refused to let ’em stage the finals there again the next year.
