FA Cup draw

I remember being in Somerton Park on 9th January 1979 when County beat West Ham 2-1. I was in Cardiff Uni and went across with a few lads.

I’ve still got the match programme. It’s dated 6 January - but the match was postponed on the Saturday and played the following Tuesday evening.

The West Ham team that night was:

Starting lineup:
Mervyn Day
John McDowell
Paul Brush
Alvin Martin
Billy Bonds
Frank Lampard (Snr)
Trevor Brooking
Alan Devonshire
David Cross
Bryan ‘Pop’ Robson
Alan Taylor

Not a bad side that!
Excellent side indeed and what a midfield that was ,I always liked West Ham as a kid probably due to their influence in the 60s of producing fine players and teams

Moore, Peters and Hurst all helped win the World Cup in 1966.

They won the FA Cup in 1964 and then the Cup Winners Cup in 1965.

So Moore picked up a Cup at Wembley in 3 consecutive years!
 
What a fantastic result for Newport and a big pay day with more to come playing Man City.....They deserve this after all the barron years but they need to transfer this form to the League as they have been slipping of late....Welsh team of the month in my view.....<applause>:emoticon-0148-yes:

I was there too Taff. Hell of a night and there weren't too many of those at Somerton. Eddie Woods from Ferndale on the score sheet for Newport.
