I was at that game Silent, first game I went to on my own as a 13 year old & first live game I’d been to for a while, very disappointed going home!

Futcher brothers played. Ron up front and his brother was centre half I believe. I attended this
game and shortly after we lost 3 2 after being 2 up v big Sam's Bolton. 2 home matches I'd rather forget.

A long time ago. Those fixtures all blend in. Chico Hamiltons penalty v Millwall is grouped in those long ago memories. UTB

Aye I was there that day (still got the programme)
That was likely the start of my (not so loving) infatuation with t’old Den
Although to be reyt there was plenty more garbage on display n’all
I ‘excuse’ ‘skippy’ Garner who always gave 100%, Hamson (pre injury) was a proper baller (+ goal v Scouse) & Chico had ability when he could be arsed (rarely) but gets a ‘pass mark’ for netting in a freezing cold Friday night 1-0 v pre big balls Bertie Chelsea ( I think)

Ahhhh
Nostalgia not what it used to be?

To be fair Guthrie was unlucky with the header the keeper tipped over and we definitely should have a pen for handball just before HT.

We woz robbed..

Carnage on BL after that Chelsea game - remember gawping at it as my Dad dragged me out of the way

Aye
I’d be 16/17 @ the time & pretended to be ‘ard until I /we encountered some ‘proper’ (cockney) boys who couldn’t even be arsed to give us a clip - just words of (profane but insightful) advise - humiliation lasted all weekend although by time we went back to work we’d ‘ “run em all ovvvver”

“Shoreham Republican Army, We’re barmy, wherever we go, we fear no foe…..” my arse

Wasn’t that pen agin Chelsea?

 

[Big Hitter]

Think it was for special needs.?

 

[KenT]

Wasn’t that pen agin Chelsea?

Drew 1 1 v millwall, Hamilton nearly hit clock on away end.
But I've drunk a lot of lager since then so maybe mistaken.

He scored against Chelsea and missed against Millwall

Yeah Hitler.

Have a word Overthehills …if you found somebody mocking the use of olives rather than police offensive what’s your take on this?

Apologies - my bad, crossed wires - my (equally) addled brain could only recall Chico netting (vs Chelsea) - reckon I must have subconsciously expunged that horrendous ‘effort’ (sic) vs Mi’wawl - although I can now (again) visualise it perfectly - as you describe

Only (other) excuse is they both played in (porcine) blue & anyroad all them there cockernees all look (& sound) the fackin’ same

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Aye
Shame nobody told ‘in that in 1936

Touchy. Bad lad, rich dad, forces lad ?

None of them. Passed a scholarship at 11 to go to a school near Newbury. Was there for 6 years and I missed a lot of Blades matches.

 

[Blade1959]

I think one of the reasons it was on MOTD was because it was the 50th anniversary of the first match broadcast on radio, our home game against Arsenal, 22/1/1927.

Hadnt thought of that! I was also surprised that Don Revie chose to watch this match!

 

[Cheets]

Luton outplaying us there. We should go all out to poach their manager. The future would be bright.
