I was there for that one too mate.

My Argyle supporting cousin didn't stop taking the piss so I lamped him one and have never been allowed to forget it

Possible they could better that crowd with us, after all it is their cup final now.

After we do the double over them, I'll be very much looking forward to returning some of the abuse i've had from my Argyle supporting mates over the years.

I was there that day (Boxing Day, 1969) when the former Co-op Welfare milkman (Mike Bickle) scored 4 goals, Norman Piper getting the other 2 goals.

Was stood on the Lyndhurst Road side, the attendance being 17,128

If my memory is correct, it was 2-0 at ht with 4 second half goals at the Devonport End.

I didn't know whether to

Honestly, ask him to remember to do up his fly when he leaves the men's room, or to recall when it is his round, and he just can't do it. Ask him about an obscure attendance from the age before Fred and Wilma Flintstone and it comes straight to his mind.

Matt.

Not a bad guess, robbo!
