I thought we were the 'be all and end all' at the time, with the whole country watching us.

 

But did any of us watch Reading smash our record a few years later?

 

Thought not.

happy days and I wish we could keep the ball as well nowadays.

 

I actually missed that last game at Burnden having spent most of my youth on the Paddock it still haunts me today that I missed it.

went with my dad and stood on the embankment quite fitting really as he took me on their at my first match against spurs in 1979....it was however the away end in those days and when questioned he replied with ..."well its where my dad always took me"...Jesus he was bloody senile back then!

I'd also forgotten the mildy amusing attempts of Bobby Robson and Nat Lofthouse trying to squeeze the centre spot into a carrier bag - :D

Front of the Manny road terrace. Only a young kid but still remember a lot from that night!!

Two main memories from that day -

1) the match and the event itself :good:

2) the fact that on the morning of the game the IRA issued bomb warnings on all motorways. Thus at 9 in the morning I'm thinking how the hell am I going to get up to it from th'East Midlands as all the main roads were shut. Train came to the rescue, but some London Whites were unlucky enough to try the drive and ended up watching the game in a boozer in Worksop, poor sods :angry:

I have watched the pre-match stuff and have had more than a few tears in my eye... what a gentleman Sir Nat was. I spent many of my happiest days there and miss it a lot.

 

I must be getting old, K feel myself wanting to say what my seniors used to say to me when growing up.

 

Time goes on... but contrary to the song... Things don't always get better
