Was there took me mag mate with me as we were working down there at the time

He was gutted :)
 
Didn’t that make us top of the league? I had lunch with a Mag at work the next day who said we’d get stuffed. Told him it would be a cheap meal - he’d be able to eat his words!

Aww man, what a night, we were superb.
To be fair to City, they sang We love you City for the last 15 minutes non stop that night - had my respect after that - awesome display of support.

we did and lost home to Soton and also got ''SWORDed at Stockport iirc
 
Was a fantastic night. Definitely Cummins for the other one. My mate had family in Salford so we stayed the night - one of the worst hangovers ever the next day. Doesn't seem 5 minutes ago - what we'd give for that now :)

It was great mate but the season unravelled quite quickly after that.
Still, we survived at Anfield which was canny:lol::lol:

Remember Anfield like it was yesterday anarl. Consett bus and another hangover! I know you always look back and think everything was better back in the day - but football definitely was. There wasn't a better time ever than late 70s/early 80s for going to games :)

Couldnt agree more mate, could get a bit "hairy" at times, but loved being a fan in that era.
