Remember, remember member..... 36 years ago today....

The way I am remembering the day, the penalty made it 1-1 after Neil McNab opener.
No, it was 9:0 to us at the time, but our first goal did come against the run of play from memory!
 
What a day. Nowt much happening till the first. Macdonald had PTSD after the match.
Oh, I remember that interview! I actually think the current managers of Arsenal and Liverpool must have read the 'Malcolm Macdonald guide book on how to conduct post match interviews'
Old Supermac didn't take it well did he! think he mentioned about 2 of our goals being offside, which would have made it a much more competitive 8:1! Maybe he also hadn't got over the 76 League Cup Final to add to his pain and bitterness@
Undoubtedly a good player, but perhaps not the best manager!
 
I believe old Bernard was fuming that he had to give 3 balls away, and I'm not joking.
The club kept the match ball and gave each of the players who scored a hat-trick a ball each.

Ken Barnes later gave the match ball up as a raffle prize at evening fundraiser for a blue he went on to work for which I'm fortunate enough to own also. Bernard was not happy as he lost four match balls in one afternoon !!!

Originally the MOTM was given the match ball which was Paul Simpson but he had to make do with a bottle of champagne instead as a fifth ball was refused to be given away.
 
Strangely enough, I also had it in mind that the game had been at 1-1 at some point rather than 9-0.
I was in the Main Stand as usual, where we regulars still managed to moan for most of the game.
It should have been 11. Swales out!
Used to go in the social club after games, that day someone I knew didn't stop moaning about the 'dodgy penalty'!!!
This 'injustice' obviously had far more impact on him than the 10 we scored!!!!

Good old Bernard ;-)
