I saw all from the Gary Stanley goal down. Apart from the Silema game.
I listened to the game on the radio in the kitchen, while my old man watched the telly in the living room.
I kept him updated after every goal, but I think he thought I was taking the piss after six!  |  | | |

The Stockport game was incredible.
Best bit was meeting some guys in the pub afterwards who had left at 4-0 down. They were gutted! |  | | |

Arsenal 68 in the Cup.
Dai the Drops Hands
Stockport
Rotherham
Leeds 5-1
Genny catching fire during a night game
Smith Tackle on Ossie.
Jimmys goal against Chelsea, as we were mixed in with their fans , and I was right in front of it.
Georgie Best , believe it or not the only time I seen him play live.
Last but not least being behind the Crew goalie Willie Mailey , who was small of stature , but played a blinder , he was like Superman flying about making saves in a one sided game 67 or 68 that we lost. |  | | |

Some good one's in there....pretty much at all of them. That Chelsea game was a day and a half. They were in the North Bank early doors and it was bedlam when are older lads came in later. The Kingsway saw some action later that afternoon.
I loved the Vetch... [Post edited 2 Aug 2019 13:28]

The crutch and the hands were laugh out loud moments.....the other one (although not laugh out loud cos it cost us the match) was when the clearance from their keeper in his box (Notts Co) bounced over Teflon Dai as he came out to meet it and their strker walked it into the net. The groan from the whole ground said it all.... |
Not in any order really.
Leighton James goal v Liverpool
Mathew Bound pen v Cardiff late winner v Cardiff 1980 New year's day.

The bloke in an evening game against Hull circa 1985 who strolled across to the away end, smacked someone, then causally walked back to the North Bank. Everyone, including stewards and coppers just staring in disbelief. Still a moment that sticks out.
Beating Cardiff 3-2 after being behind.
Beating Cardiff in the snow.
Beating Cardiff in the Welsh Cup 1982
Ian Walsh's Hatrick as sub against Sliema Wanderers
The robbery by Panathinaikos in the ECWC
First game -Saturday 6.30 KO due to rugby V Birmingham. Was not expecting the level of swearing and abuse-mainly directed to Archie Gemill
First radioactive pastie sometime in 1981/82 season.
The Friday night Bristol City game-a great escape under John Bond, with Jimmy Rimmer the hero on the night.
