The Saturday Boy Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 He's involved in Weston Super Mare FC and called round to the parents to collect their subs for the monthly draw. Of course I had to tell him I saw him score for City against Hull in 1973. For those young uns, he was a goalkeeper hence a special goal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristolNorthEndRed Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 During the 1970’s my mother and father were in a local supermarket. They were at the checkout loading groceries. My mother looked up and saw a young chap she thought she recognised as being one of my older brothers friends. She said “Hello my love, how are you?” The young chap said hello and that he was fine. They carried on loading the groceries into the bags, and my father, laughing, asked my mother who she thought it was, she explained she couldn’t put a name to his face but he was one of my older brother’s mates. My dad told her who it was, and after giving it some thought, they realised she knew his face from City players photos around my bedroom walls. Great memories of those days.

Yeah remember that day so well. Was Tuesday Afternoon KO. Was at collage day release thing in Torquay, got back to Newton Abbot bus station and bought the Herald Express, and there it was in Stop Press,. Unbeaten all season Leeds 0-1 Bristol City. Well it didn't say unbeaten Leeds but that's how it read to me.!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City 5 Millwall 2 Tuesday afternoon one week after the Leeds victory.’ I remember it being a Keith Fear hat trick too, and just under 10k in the ground iirc. First time I ever heard ‘in the Millwall slums’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angmering Red Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 The Millwall and Leeds games were afternoon kick offs during the power strikes but the Hull game was definately under lights, as confirmed by Cidered Abroad farther up the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch brightly lit with the floodlights also illuminating the rain as it fell. Action on the pitch lit up, in stark contrast to the crowd in the dark stands A proper traditional ‘Ashton Gate under the lights’ experience, so much more atmospheric than these days of brightly lit stands, and the memory of Cashley’s extraordinary goal all the more vivid for that.

Enclosure Old Timer Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Was standing on the Open End that night, I can still picture Ian McKechnie, the Hull keeper, backpedalling furiously as the ball sailed over his head. It was definitely a night game, late '73. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
