It’s funny as I don’t remember the Sunderland game but I presume I was there. I remember the Stoke match vividly mainly because of Cheesley’s injury. Just checked - 0-0 at Newcastle.

The only Sunderland home game i can remember was a 4/3 win first game of the season in about 71? with Ken Whimshurst scoring the winning goal with a supurb chip into the top corner in front of the East End.

Portland Bill Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 At the bottom you can see the Southern league premier, ( now the national league) fourth from top Minehead Town, who are now in division 1 of the Somerset county league, now playing the likes of Nailsea and Tickenham Reserves!. Burton, Yeovil and Wimbledon are further down the table below Minehead. I watched a game at Minehead last Friday, it’s incredible to think how their’s and Wimbledon’s history’s have panned out since 76, polar opposites.

Port Said Red Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I guess the Gasheads were taking the fact that they lost to a George Best goal as a badge of honour, and no doubt claiming that they outnumbered the home support in a crowd of 31000.

GrahamC Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Those early points turned out to be vital at seasons end. As I remember it Gillies came on as sub for Cheesley in the now infamous Stoke game and then scored a late equaliser when he intercepted a back pass. Poetic justice in a small way. Gilles only scored about 30 in his entire City career but there were there some massive ones, the equaliser at Coventry on the last day being the biggest, though the Leeds FA cup winner was also huge.

That's a really good point about Gillies goals. I hadn't really linked the fact that he had scored both goals in what were probably still the most memorable, to me, away matches since I have followed city.
