Anyone remember the last time we drew non-league? I remember Maidstone in about 86/87 (guessing a bit) but can’t remember another.
Before that and the Maidstone one, it was Harlow Town. Cracking match. I remember being allowed to stay up and watch Match of the Day. It was the first time I’d seen a game I'd been at on the telly, I think. I was indignantly pointing out the bits they’d missed out! I think there are highlights on Youtube. I used to have the whole broadcast on audio cassette, recorded as the microphone was pressed tightly against the telly. Happy days. I listened to that so often, I can still remember bits. “A goal may have been given, and it has!” Then just a variety of Watford players’ names, said in high-pitched Motlish as they scored, “Patching!” “Poskett!”... The lad with a beard (?) was MacKenzie, I think, for Harlow. Good player. We gave them a guard of honour off the pitch - first time I’d ever seen that.
I was at this game.... and realise it wasn't a fa cup game I then found we beat them away in the cup Corinthian Casuals v Watford, 13 November 1965 d Competition FA Cup 1st round 1 Corinthian Casuals 5 Watford
No, especially as the Man U game isn’t exactly a romantic cup tie. If it was at Reading, yes, at Old Trafford? No.
2pm..... There was an article in their local paper bemoaning the fact they didn't get a bigger tie - now fine if you talk about the big Premier league teams but it also included QPR and Middlesbrough!
