Remember it well. My brother and I were pictured in the paper after match inadvertently stood over the 'End' section of the Endsleigh League advertising. pic.twitter.com/1l69aLaPTk

So many. A favourite is Carlisle that season in Autoglass, crowd surged on the Terrace when Starbuck scored and sent me and my Dad flying, I didn't actually find him again until the final whistle had blown.

Walking to each end of the terrace depending on which way town were shooting. In the Cowshed when it was packed and in full song. Happy memories. Utt

Beating Arsenal 2-1 in their double winning season was pretty special, as was the 4-2 defeat of West Ham in the 1972 FA, not least because it was so long since we had scored a goal!

Waiting for the away team’s bus to arrive with my dad... standing in the queue for pies and catching a glimpse of the pitch... wonderful memories.
