Chesterfield League Cup 1977 We were 4th Division they were in the 3rd. We won 3-0 Mick Mc Carthy scored on his debut, Peter Price got one and a player call Neil Warnock (what ever happened to him)got the third. We'd lost the first leg 4-1 so it was 4-4 on aggregate. Second match I went to was the replay,and that was a night match which was just incredible to this young lad. We went and lost 2-0 and a life time of boom and bust supporting the Reds was started. Where was I last week? No idea I can't remember
I feel old seeing some o' t'threads below. Barrow - 1st game of 1968/69 season after we had just been promoted from 4th division. We lost.
