    Losing him - and Capoue - was a major blow from which we've never really recovered.

    We drew lots at work to see who could go: I lost so stayed home but was assured of the next opportunity. Romania and Bulgaria were next up and that kyboshed that. Mrs Fez and I are booked on a Danube cruise for next year, health permitting... given the state of that part of the world it's entirely feasible that we won't get there anyway!

    OTD in 2016 I don't remember Zuniga doing very much for us after this game - but what an inspired substitution...

    Am pretty sure that was Scott Loach's League debut for us too - poor sod. He had two or three good seasons with us then it all went downhill for him.

    A cold, wet and windy day up here today - but watching this certainly warmed me up quickly.

    Some nice words from George Best right at the very end too...

    That was a good watch, how young Elton and GT looked, the state of the pitches that early in the season and Ian Boltons goal against Norwich, I was at all of those games, magic time and most of Tyler players were from the Academy

    I alway liked George Best as a player and a pundit, such a shame he fell foul of the drinking culture in those days

    I was probably standing next to you...:)

    I read later about trouble at the match, but I was right behind their goal, standing next to the Swindon fans, and didn't notice any. Just a lot of banter...
