Impressive les, in comparison I have managed a paltry 18 of those you have listed,can't think of any others off the top of my head. It shows you just how many clubs have moved on.

We haven't played Southampton since the late 70's Woz and I wasn't going away regularly by then and we haven't played Cardiff since the mid 80's. I can remember the last season we played them though when we won 4-2 there and beat them 6-3 at home. I had started to go to away games by then but for some reason I never went to Cardiff.

The one that I did miss which I regret is that I never managed to see Town at was Maine Road,

Yeah, it is. For some reason I was thinking that Wycombe had moved to another new ground.

I think i went to Somerton Park ( Newport County ) to follow Town in the early eighties.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
