Stoke vs Barnsley in the FA cup

RE: Its a miracle that nobody was trampled to death that day ...

yes it was bad i was on the west terrace for that match.
but the most frightening experience i ever had at a match was trying to get out of the away end at millmoor, that passage that runs the length of the ground, i was only a bairn and i was just getting carried along with the crowd my feet never touching the floor, if anyone had slipped that day they would have been trampled to death for sure.

 

Didn't Currie receive the ball at kick off and dribble through to almost score

later saw your Currie guy at Carlisle v Swindon, a class act.

 

Aye

Remember queuing outside and not getting in til it was 2-1

 

Peter Beagrie

Remember seeing him speed down the wing in front of us and we said "christ he's quick" but he couldn't stop and just ran straight off the pitch with the ball and into the fence!
Everytime I see him i think about that!

 

Saw him quite recently at a match

 

Fudge

His farts could clear the Ponty End! /poo

 

He was on the start of MOTD for the rest of the season with the somersault if I remember rightly


RIP Stevie un ta mate

 

Cracking games. saw the whole 90 mins at Stoke but it got to be a real crush on the terracing.

Who was the giant Stoke forward - Dave Bamber?? Or am I having another senior moment?

 

probably a daft question,but has he changed much? appearence wise i mean.

 

RE: the scores went..

sure about that i,m sure barnsley went 2 up currie scored a brilliant goal conrolled with his right and smashed it in with his left,by was he **** hot or wot in his first spell with barnsley!

 

seem to recall peter beagrie having a blinder against us,and that brilliant goal by currie where he controlled with his right and smashed it in with his left!

 

RE: Fudge

If you ever drink down wombwell you will see fudgie! Remember another match at stoke when the police wouldn't let him in cos they thought he was pissed!

 

RE: Fudge

I was thinking that it wasn't at a match we saw him but couldn't think where it could have been - might have been in Wetherspoons at Wombwell a few months back

 

No!! He still looks exactly the same as then.......and still puddled.

Him and his brother are always in the weatherspoons in Wombwell. One with headphones on constantly and he'll stand there giving it the Air Guitar - Comedy Genius!!

 

Yes, their big Number Nine was Dave Bamber

One of those players who always scored against us every game he played, or so it seemed. And yes, the terracing down that touchline was extremely dangerous. I got in really early, travelling independently from the south and thought I had done well, getting a position on the half way line, against the back wall. Good view. Then the pens started filling up, or rather OVER filling. It was frightening and very warm. It was a cold sunny day but the crush of people made it feel like summer. As others have said, it is only good luck that no one was killed that day. Shocking way to treat football supporters, but then it was common in those days. Probably still some of it even now, though not quite the same. Terrific game though and what a goal from Beagrie to force the replay. A real heart breaker but brilliant nonetheless. Cut in from the wing and hammered it into the top corner.
The pink panthers were out in force at Oakwell for the replay but we deflated them. Sublime back heel from David Currie into Steve Cooper's path and he slammed it into the roof of the net. Then that fabulous sommersault! RIP Steve Cooper

 

And the Stoke "goal" that never crossed the line

The ball hit the bar and bounced down before Futcher (I think) hooked it away. Me and my dad were standing by the corner flag right in line and I never saw any of the ball inside the goal.
