30th April through the years

Two standout games for differing reasons:

Safety secured against McGoo

And 10 years later....

The icing on the cake

Fantastic memories of both - Williams' goal against WoLOLves was sheer calamitous defending :lol:

I'd forgotten about that (the date that is, not the game) - my first game too.

My first game too, interesting that 3 of us share the same 1st game. Remember sitting in the North Stand and still have great visions of Jimmy Quinn's injury time header and seeing everyone sprawl on the pitch. Those were the days......

Very true - and from an earlier era of glory hunting plasticity, I know a few of us on here share the Easter match at home to Lincoln City in 1976.
