What year was that?

Must have been 82 or 83

I wasn't allowed to go to 1st team games until 85

Be interested to look it up if there's a record of reserve games anywhere

Didnt he score the goal down at Ipswich that McCoists first SAFC touch backheeled into his path?

Yep - McCoist came on as sub - goal scored at our end - think we went 3-1 up but Ipswich clawed it back to 3-3 - first game if season

Aye, think Gates equalised for them as well, he might have got 2, definately got 1!

RIP Mick Buckley, terribly young age. Wasn't Mick the Captain of the team which won that Sportsnight 6 a side tournament? I haven't read the whole thread.

Really sad to hear this. Like many others on here he was a regular fixture in the team when I first started going and I remember him well, got his autograph somewhere. Amazing how much the game has changed since those days.

RIP Mick.
