Wish I'd been there
I heard that result on the radio and didn't believe it. 1-1 HT, 1-5 FT. I phoned the Supporters Club to check. When I finally got through, a very drunken fan confirmed the result.
True, and the myth is that Big John got a rowlocking for not taking his chances
God knows what Horace would have made of that. He counts "one, two, three, lots". He still reckons we drew THAT game against Coventry because both teams scored "lots"
Yes, it backfired, I'm afraid. By the way I don't drink whiskey except for the occasional Jaimesons in backward pubs that don't have any single malt Scotch.
Like the wily old hedgehog bit, though.
Not for ten minutes they don't, and not before the match has started.
Betting was suspended for a quarter of an hour before the KO and for another ten minutes just before HT.
It was 5/1 Crewe. Then betting was suspended for ten minutes and odds became 11/4 when the match came back. All this before the sending-off. Something is going on here
