Loads of memories. The best though, was Man. City 5th Rd replay & the 1/4 final v Luton back in 73. The old place was bouncing!?⚪️?⚪️??

The night games. Always special. The Chelsea replay stands out most, what an amazing noise after Armstrong’s goal.

My first ever match was the 1973 replay v Man City. What a game. When I got home to Haydon Bridge it was on telly in black & white.

David Ginola getting struck on the back of the head by a pie, whilst taking a throw in sticks to mind. It was in his @Loreal days too. ?
