Players should be running out to this lol

I remember going to Watford in the 1972-3 season and getting the guy who was playing their records over the tannoy to put that on. We did the double over Watford that season - how times change - and the police were throwing out Town fans who jumped up and down on the terracing when each time we scored for causing a public nuisance! You used to have to walk through an allotment behind Vicarage Road to get to their ground in those days depending on where your coach was parked.

Theres some footage on youtube with the fa cup tie with Arsenal during 82-83. Town lost 4-3 and Charlie Nicholas scored his only hat trick. Decent game too.

That game was in January 86 Meza. IIRC there had been a dispute with TV rights and no highlights had been shown for the previous year and that game was the first game shown on Match Of The Day after the dispute had been settled. A certain Mi*e L*ons played himself upfront that day (and scored I think). That was probably one of the very, few games that I have enjoyed when Town have lost.

That game was also a stand out off the pitch Arsenal bringing arguably the biggest casual mob (Herd/Gooners) of the era to BP .To that point other than Chelsea the London teams never really travelled here with more than a couple of hundred. The talk afterwards wasn`t of the trouble so much the clothes they wore they created quite an impression and put a lot of pound notes into tills of various clothes shops. I was still at school and the older lads within weeks had started wearing the same labels usually after a shopping trip to London or a big City. The lad who fronted them (Denton) went onto do alright as a minder working for the Pet Shop Boys amongst others til he passed away a few years back.The game itself was the biggest seen at BP in the FA Cup for years and probably the biggest since Liverpool away in 1980 .Great game to watch and Gary Lund scored a brilliant strikers goal the Arsenal hatrick hero Charlie Nicholas came to GY years later to the old clee club and told his recollections of the game he wasn`t a fan of Mike Lyons either

That Everton game was the most one-sided game I've ever been to where the team on top lost.
Got absolutely drenched that night too.
Was great on the way back too when the Town coach stopped at Hartshead Moor and the team got mobbed by the fans.
One of the best nights ever following Town that was.
