Sorry if it has already been noted, couldn't see it anywhere! Bolton v Ipswich, (yes the one with that goal) is on ITV4 this Thursday. 30 years ago to the week,April 1979. Be great to see Burnden heaving as well.

I was also there; Burnden Paddock boy at the time having started in t' Lever End, then Embankment for the sunnier weather, then graduated to Burnden Terrace when Lever End became all-seated, finally found myself in Manny Rd North.

Once did a Chealse home game where I stood in at least three out of the four in the same 90 minutes!

My Uncle Alan was there (I was only 2 so was probably busy shitting myself) and he used to describe this goal with a sort of dewy-eyed, far off gaze.

I wasn't there unfortunately. My miserable dad wouldn't take me (I was 10). Listened to it on the radio at my grandma's house and it was obvious that the goal was something special the way they went on about it.

 

I have really enjoyed the Big Match Revisited, even allowing for its obvious London bias. The 'Granada' matches brought back some great memories and I think it's a great idea showing the matches from the same week thirty years ago, just adds to the nostalgia. Last week it was Ralph Coates and his combover (playing for Leyton Orient). A different world.

Peter Thompson

The ball boy behind the goals wasn't Jules Darby

The Ref clapped the goal

I now feel old

That Scottish bloke scored twice

Int diary.

 

Did Peter Thompson play?

 

We lost, but it didn't matter.
