Standing under the Double Decker packed in like sardines .
Record crowd 33,000 .
Remember Ivor Allchurch plus Arsenal centre half Ian Ure who looked like a giant to a kid .
We lost 1 nil Bobby Gould scored .
How lucky was i to have that as my first game .

Todd goal? yes or no?

I don't remember. I do remember Ure shoving Todd in the back as he was about to pull the trigger in the area. Definite pen, not given (surprise, surprise).

Exeter City 1976/77 0-0 I was hooked lol

 

[Pontyjack]

V Brentford at the vetch think it was 2-1 77/78? Pretty sure it was 30p to get in

I believe that was my first game as well - around April 78 ? It was 2-1
