A happy memory from 33 years ago today.

I remember the evening well, drunk down all match and played off the park for 89 minutes, but still one of the best ever evenings following The Mariners.

Wilko could probably do better now than the strikers we have 👍

Talking about Wilko ! what exactly is his impact at GTFC, because to me it appears to be nothing at all, i thought he would work on the attacking within the team, well clearly i am wrong on that as nobody seems to work on the attacking, i hope Wilko realise he is just as much to blame about the disaster that is unfolding as Russel Slade & John Fenty.

I think you did that yourself Les by reminding us what our great club once was and what we could achieve compared to the current pathetic going nowhere music hall joke led by Fenty and Slade

I remember being there that night, already celebrating when we got the free kick thinking yes that will run the clock down and get us a draw, then we scored in what seemed like slow motion and it went nuts.

I couldn't get there that night was away at college as a mature  student in Oxford - college, not Uni.

Remember listening to it on the radio when they went around the grounds and always remember the commentator nearly choking on his microphone. We were the only team to stop Everton scoring at home that season....not too bad considering they were league champions at the end of it. Has to be Town's greatest post war result.

The game I do remember though is the 1979-80 League Cup tie against Everton at BP, something I and perhaps 16,000 other folk will never forget, when the mercurial Mike Brolly scored twice to give us our biggest upset in living memory. Was in the Barratt that night and it was absolutely bouncing...nothing like it on such nights. Not the greatest Everton side by any stretch, but with the likes of Bob Latchford and Brian Kidd up front all bar Town diehards thought we would be pushovers.  UNBELIEVABLE.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

I am sure that besides being the only team to stop Everton scoring at home, we were also the only team to win at Goodison Park that season. A tremendous achievement for the Club.

This was against a top quality trophy-winning Everton team whose players were household names.
