2nd October 1971

I was at the ground at 1-30 in the queue to get in the away end, the gates were literally closed in our face as we got to the front & we were gutted. We decided to stay outside the ground where there were hundreds of Blades fans milling around. We knew that there was no score with 15 mins left as the gates were opened , so my mate & me jumped in at the nearest one among the home fans , just in time to see Best score that legendary goal that would be shown on TV & come back to haunt us for years to come!

Were you among the groups listening to portable radios? It all seemed to be going well, but as soon as we got in... Is there any wonder we're a pessimistic lot?

4 of us were in the stand opposite the Tv camera's, i was so excited about the game the build up was phenominal,the fans turned out but the players were eclipsed by Man U.

Locked out even though we got to the ground for 1.30pm. Joined a bad queue I think.

Great George Best goal .
