    City v Ipswich 1981 FA Cup Semi

    On the subject of Big Alan was with him and the Denton branch at Villa Park when we won 5 -1 in the league, a night match. We got bogged down in The Witton pub and only got in when we were 4-0 up. Tydeswell on the way home was always the order of the day. CTID.
