KennyUtd Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I remember 83/84 season playing City at home. Absolutely mental trying to get into the Gallowgate there was that many outside. Paying on the gate still then too. I got forced under a copper horse and couldn't move. Took my pal Wrighty to drag me out from underneath and he pushed us through the turnstile where the bloke closed it right behind us. A fiver cash got us both in. Tremendous day, 5-0 win, Beardsley fucking imperious but scary as fuck getting in. Aahhh the good old days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Morley also played for them. Was Graham Carr, father of Alan, managing Northampton back then? Think Northampton and Preston at home were the 2 FA cup rounds before we went to Spurs in 87?

Couldn’t get in the corner for that one, ended up in the scoreboard. City’s keeper on the receiving end of some of the worst racist chants I’ve heard at sjp. Definitely a low point with the NF flogging their youth paper Bulldog outside the ground (mostly aimed at scruffy teenagers like myself, I was 13 at the time). Could have done with the older lads with some sense knocking the shit out of the NF and setting a good example for the younger lot (took a few years later for the geordies are black and white stuff to make a mark).

Think Northampton and Preston at home were the 2 FA cup rounds before we went to Spurs in 87? Correct. Carr was the manager, Hill scored against us (was a lower league goal machine) and we took the lead again a minute later. Preston dispatched comfortably then the craziness of Spurs in February. Unrepeatable days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I wasn’t at that spurs game - also missed us beating Liverpool, when Mavis scored. I don’t remember going to any home games, that season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 8 hours ago, jemo96 said: I actually missed the FA cup game between Whitley Bay and PNE at Hillheads despite living 15 minutes away. Can’t remember why but was told it was interesting day and night in Whitley Bay and surrounding areas. Maybe at our match at home to Oxford? Remember having the lip on about how that was going and vowing to support Whitley Bay instead after hearing their result. Obviously was back for the ZDS cup game the very next game. (was convinced even then at that age that that was a dive by Mark Stein - pretty in line with it near the back of the Gallowgate) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, absolutely mental day, think a lad had his eye put out with a coin if I remember correctly. Battles all over the place outside, had to have your wits about you that day.

JLC Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Was horrendous that game. 84-85 was canny too at Filbert, 1st game of season, IIRC won 3-2. Always a dodgy place to go back then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 There was no Hopkinson, Woltemade, PIF, Ross Wilson, Trippier (out of form) and Howe so it was a much more enjoyable experience!!!! I was born 1989. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
