I wish I'd been supporting town for a couple more seasons than I have Infact a bit more than that as I'd have loved to have seen the Rangers game.

Happy Days!

I was one of the thirty or so that flew up to Glasgow.

That was special,probably one of the best seasons for us,think it was only time i watched a game in main stand to scared to go anywhere else lol

Maybe not the time now (close season would be good), but it would be fantastic to hear a load of fans accounts/ memories from that game and era. Perhaps you could kick everyone off Keith in the summer??

Jeez just totted the games up we played that season 66 in total,probably what cost us promotion,i don't blame the Anglo Scottish Cup,i wouldn't change it for anything,i missed the first leg of the final as i was on nights but i saw the second leg

Cups always do take their toll, the FA cup run cost us a higher place in the league that season. Not sure about the JPT run last season though, less games and the first few rounds we rested players.

I was one of a few hundred that went on the special, a great occasion

Were people scared of going to Glasgow? Obviously it's impossible to recreate the scenario but you'd expect a couple of thousand to go now, at least.

It was a midweek game so i doubt 2000 would go on that basis,i didn't go i must have been on nights but very doubtful i would have gone anyway to that one.....

They would for a game like that. You'd have been scared wouldn't you?

I am going to throw the name Alex Sabella's name into the thread,wasn't he the first Argentinian footballer to play in this country,Sheffield United signed him as a second best to Diego Maradonna who turned them down,We must have seen Sabella as we played Sheff Utd while he was there and beat them home and away.....

He played in both games against us in 1979/80 Keith.

He is now Argentina's manager.

I thought he did i remember him coming over here,went to Leeds after Sheffield....

Probably one of Sheff Utd's better bits of business.

Bought him for £160k,sold him for £400k.

Skilful player, but sadly lacking in pace,only played 23 games for Leeds before heading back home.

Seem to remember he was hailed as the new Tony Currie at Bramall Lane,which he patently wasn't and the fans never really took to him.

I expect you have seen the Sky is Blue article about it that includes footage.

Gordon Banks must be the highest rated player,played against us in the F A Cup in 1972 at Stoke and Kevin Randall scored against him,the goal of the game.....

I was there. I think there was some trouble after the game
