Owned and run by Martin and Sue....big City fans.,(Sue being famous for proving she was a Bristol 'City' fan at the Mansfield game at Wembley a year later). After losing the away leg at Hereford in the Freight Rover semi final, Martin promised champagne to the City players if we got to the final in the home leg. True to his word, straight after the game, back to Chaplins to celebrate with the players arriving around midnight. Remember having a long chat with David Moyes who was comparing our rivalry with the gas, with Celtic/Rangers saying it was just as intense and David Harle being absolutely rat arsed! Think I remember getting home around 4am. a great night.

Wasn't he well known for being the tallest player in the football league in his day....6ft 5" I think.

Galley, Garland, Kellard, Sharpe and Skirton!...I was there too.

Be interesting to compare the attendances with the Gas and the cricket.

Commented on how empty it looked!

A legend in my local!

HE!

Brilliant thanks.....wish someone could find some video.

Weren't we runners up?

Thanks BS4...my error....still a great memory,

Found it!...1977/78 season...the only year your lot were in it and we WON it!

Could well have been....can't find any records on ant of the 'stats' websites.

Can anyone find any footage of that Chris Garland header...I think it was the 6-1 victory back in the eighties....possibly Anglo Scottish cup or something. That must rate right up with the best piss takes ever...even better than the Matty Taylor transfer. Sorry Miah, but you've rekindled a great memory mentioning that.

Was there too...remember a banner saying...'so Jesus said come forth...and so we did'! Think it was Trevor Morgan who got both goals?

Never fails to make I larf....cheered me up no end this morning!
