"Not won in Southampton since the 50s"?

Didn't we beat them in the cup before the Liverpool game in the 80s? Aggy and all that?

Anyway, great 3 points today. Well worth a few bookings.

 

1985

they did mention it earlier in the commentary.

 

We did

Went on to play liverpool in the next game - must mean in the league . Hate the way they do that - we can't have played them that many times in all those years </p>

 

was that 3-2 or 2-1

went down for the saturday game and it was postponed, couldnt get off work for the match when re sheduled mid week :'(

 

not won in league

page 556 on teletext gives details...prior to prem season, last time we played them in league was in 50s

 

RE: was that 3-2 or 2-1

2-1 I think. Aggy got the winner - Shilton was in goal if I remember

 

RE: was that 3-2 or 2-1

The game was postponed 2 or 3 times, had to rearrange a few shifts for that but it was worth it, made a day of it and what a day it was.

 

I wasn't so lucky

Had tickets but then couldn't go when it was rearranged.

 

RE: 1985

Remember the game well, won with goals from Agnew and Owen, our manager was Bobby Collins as caretaker, it was the last day of the miners strike. I travelled home, got home early morning and had to get up for the miners march at 6am, do a full shift on lates and got home at 11.00, had 3 hours sleep in 2 days. Also on the tannoy at their ground they were telling their fans to book their tickets early aftre the game, expecting to win.

John Peel had arranged a djing session in Southampton in anticipation of them winning the game and playing Liverpool.
