Without checking, didn't he score the winner at Witton Albion?

Yes. Went on a stag do a few years ago with Chris Pearce (Burnley keeper) who played with Compo. They were really big mates - told me a few stories about him. Really great lad by all accounts.

A shame about him, yes remembered for his sitter at Wrmbley but I do remember him more for the 2 v Scarborough

No. Scarborough was a one time only fixture in division 4. Bournemouth (new years day?)was a couple of years later.

Funny how that era all merges together for me. Early teens back then

Jeez I was at that game, can’t quite believe it was televised,thought we drew it to be honest, it was last away game the season we got relegated, remember Bolton hoolies invading the Ipswich seats before the match led by long haired wanderers fan( later found out it was Ivan) I was 16 and first overnight trip in one of my mates car, camped in tent in place called swaffham. Brought some memories back that thx SJM.

Never seen that before. Ipswich had a fantastic team back then. I could probably names all of them. Like @Mounts Kipper said, it's a odd match to choose for TV. Having said that the pool of teams Anglia TV had to choose from was very shallow.

Dunno if these extended highlights have been on

Seen em a few times and while the pitch doesnt help, the football is worse then we watch in div 3

Used to love proper ticker tape at matches........

 

Needs some volume. 

Absolute limbs in that away end when Caldwell's shot went in!

Great cup quarter final.

Had everything. 

Seems that the pitch is massive from that angle, with lots of space, though maybe the quality of player, with good control creates the space.

How good was tricky Ricky too. Will always be one of my all time favourite players.

Shirley, that advertisement hoarding (minute 1:11) - Brothels and partners, was meant to be Brothels with sisters 🙅.

55 secs in. Bolton fans are marching round (inside the Wigan end) from the right hand goal and panic sets in the Wigan lads 😂😂

Proper good cup tie that was 

Charlton brought loads as well but their standards 

They generally bought fuck all in the PL

Filled the whole lower tier that day, though heard plenty were Millwall
