i was in with the town fans behind the goal…A big game for both clubs and 47000 fans turned up too.. Leighton missed a penalty for Town, and there were quite few skirmishes on the pitch too.. The good old days…
This was the 3rd away game I ever attended and I recall it never felt as If Town were going to get anything out of it. I have it in mind that Alan Gilliver was sent off, certainly would have been these days after launching a rugby tackle on one of the City players, after which it was game over.
