Boston United v Sheffield United

[1973Blade]

Following on from my thread regarding the Altrincham game, I was looking for footage of it and came across this Football Focus clip, including highlights of our 1-1 draw at Boston United in 1982. I haven't seen it before, grear to see a scrambled Keith Edwards goal and Alan Young involved in a scuffle following our equaliser. It looks like we were a bit fortunate to get away with a draw.

I was there. We were shit. Before the game we sang ‘Martin Tyler is a wanker’. They had a massive firm of skinheads. No idea if it kicked off as I was a kid and went with my mate and his dad. Beat them in the replay.

Went to the home match v Boston and the Altrincham match at home too. Couldn’t believe that we lost the replay when I saw the score in the paper the following day.

So we lost to Boston at home in the replay ?

No, won replay against Boston, lost against Altrincham.
Seem to think we might have got 5 against Boston.

Kevin Blackwell in goal for Boston that day.

I didn't realise it was him. I was thinking how small their keeper looked compared with the giants in net these days.
