What a game that was. Futcher only the second player to score a hattrick and get sent off, Owen missed a penalty at 3-2 or something? Lost 5-3 then we won at Southampton on the Tuesday in the Cup against Shilton, Keegan et al.
Shocker at the Valley certainly. I was privileged to be at The Dell for that cup tie. Short hop down the A36 for me from Salisbury and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing!
I was also there , I was on strike at the time but my brother who worked in the steel works treated me to the trip , I am not sure but I think Agnew got the winner after coming from behind to win 2 v 1 , I do remember being coined by the saints fans at full time & managed to pick up a few ! very welcome when you were in the middle of a year without money lol
Good to see our boys score 5. According to the Charlton match report it was a very weak under 23 side as most players were from their under 18s. The majority of Chartons under 23s will be involved in the mid week Trophy cup game. An easy run out for our boys on this occasion.
Yeah I was there as well pal, All reds fans singing miners fund miners fund miners fund!. Terraces were like a weir cos some bright spark had blocked sinks and turned all taps on in toilets.
