IT was the most harrowing and terrifying experience of his life but what Paul Winter remembers most vividly was seeing a man in his 50s wet himself through fear.
The Battle of Orgreave, the most infamous clash of the miners' strike 31 years ago yesterday, left a lasting impression on Paul - he recalls the hot summer day when as a 20-year-old miner from Kendray, he found himself hemmed in a field with 10,000 fellow striking miners, 5,000 police countless police horses and dogs - with seemingly no escape.
He said: "We had nowhere to run. They made sure we were all enclosed in that one field, the Orgreave plant on one side, railway line to another, a road to the other side and then trees and woods.
"When you ran to the trees, you were met with dogs. I could hear people screaming as they got bitten."
Paul spoke at the NUM offices on Friday during a press conference for the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign, which is now calling for a full inquiry into the events of that day following the 'disappointing' decision of the police watchdog the IPCC not to investigate.
