Don't know why but this game just sticks in my memory

We won 5-1, wouldn't that be nice today.

Seem to recall it was bloody freezing. Toshack and a few others wore those old fashioned baseball trainers, like todays Converse boots.Only grass on the pitch in those days was by the corner flags

Toshack scored a hat-trick? Brian Clark scored also got a memorable goal. Goalkeeper kicked the ball out, Clarkie was stood at the edge of the penalty box, the ball went straight into Clarks head and it went into the net. he didn't know anything about it!

Great, great days

Yes - I remember it - great game. I seem to recall that the bulk of games were off that day due to weather. I think win took us top of league or close to it ( but my memory may be wrong there - far too many pints supped since! ). :ayatollah:

I was stood on the Bob Bank in my parka on a wooden box my father built especially so i could see the game as I was so small.

Imagine trying to bring that into the ground nowadays!
