I think most of us got urine wet through but nobody cared.

This was a top-quality Everton side who did very well in Europe.   Unbeaten at home that season.  Town did brilliantly to hold out for nearly the full 90 mins before snatching the winner.  If we can show the same character, determination and fight for the rest of this season, then we have a very good chance of going up.   Logged Offline 0 0 Reply: 1 - 17 Les Brechin November 20, 2014, 11:23am Moderator Posts: 20,037 Posts Per Day: 4.68 Reputation: 83.22% Rep Score: +111 / -22 Location: Grimsby Approval: +7,869 Quoted from TownSNAFU5 How the mighty have fallen.  And I don't mean Everton. ......................... This was a top-quality Everton side who did very well in Europe.   Unbeaten at home that season.  Town did brilliantly to hold out for nearly the full 90 mins before snatching the winner.  If we can show the same character, determination and fight for the rest of this season, then we have a very good chance of going up.   They were THE team of the moment at the time. They had won their previous 10 games in all competitions and I think they went on to win the 1st Division title and The European Cup Winners Cup the same season. Our defence, particularly Batchy and Chris Nicholl were unbeatable that night. I don't think that I have ever seen a more one sided game where the team on the receiving end have won! I remember we stopped at Hartshead Moor services on the way home and the team coach pulled in too, only to be mobbed by hundreds of Town fans.
