Didn't we have two sent off for fighting with each other - or was that in another match?

Think that was another match. Sadly, we lost this with 11 men still on the pitch at full time!

I may have made this up, but I remember tuning in to the radio that night and I'm sure Burnsy (or someone) fancied Town for the win!

That was a miserable night. I remember the disbelief as the goals just kept going in. I was there and I remain convinced that sort of experience allows you to enjoy the highs.

That was Darlo away in the Leyland Daf Cup, a previous version of the EFL Trophy.  Tony Rees and Tommy Watson.

Thanks Diehard - I remember it now.
I don't recall hose two having any previous disciplinary issues - but there must have been some latent stuff between them that erupted after the throw in & the red mist came down....

It's weird, because I could have sworn that I saw the game where Rees and Watson were sent off for fighting, but I never visited Feethams...

Must have seen footage at some point and the quirks of memory did the rest.

Would love to see any footage of that incident!

I think both had a fiery streak, certainly Tony Rees.  There's a clip of him just exploding at Halifax after scoring a goal, the centre-back must have said something to him and Rees turns round and pushes him over.  But I don't think either had disciplinary problems, as you say Heswall.

Players kicking off their own team-mates is a bit of a rarity to say the least, perhaps it more a case of remembering them because it's GTFC but other than Rees/Watson and Morais/Payne I can only recall a couple of other incidents (Batty/Le Saux and Bowyer/Dyer).

I remember the night very well.

We were on a walking holiday 5 day bus tour; and staying in a budget hotel in Bournemouth.

On the last night after the dinner, 8 of us from Grimsby and Cleethorpes went to their entertainment room, where there was an older guy with a great sense of humour singing.

There was also a group of about 10 from Bristol, who entered into the spirit of the night by encouraging the singer; and later on he began singing more modern and upbeat songs; and we all ended up dancing.

In his breaks we also had a bit of fun banter, they knew who we supported and I called them the Bristol Ravers.

On the next and last morning at the hotel, I got up early to eagerly look for Town's result in the morning paper, only to see with horror we had lost 8-1. You can imagine my trepidation at breakfast when the Brizzles came down, but nobody had obviously seen the result; and I got on the coach so relieved.


Supporting Town for 65 years.
