Question for the old guard

Just to check you are all still alive.

What was unusual about the City shirts in the 4-1 away win up at Mansfield back in September 1976 in the old division 3. I was a young un at that game and oblivious to the fact and only found this out just recently. Alcohol was priority number one in them days.

 

I think I'll leave that to the real oldies. Sparks?

 

Bog off Bluey.

I'll have to take a raincheck on that one Bob - in '76 I'd gone back to Stafford CAT from 3 year sandwich course based in SW3 emoticon-0159-musicblue is the colour, football is the game) for another year up there with English Electric/GEC to finish my Dip Tech.

I was at Vale Park watching Port Vale at the time - now that WAS an experience...........

 

Bob - don't want to be a pain mate, but we weren't in the old 3rd division in '76/'77 - we were in the old second division and we didn't play Mansfield....................

 

75/76 Spark. Promotion year. Malcolm Allison, Hereford Town centre and soccer special, jumpers for goalposts.

 

Was it the 1st time we used the kit will a yellow & white stripe ?

Or that purple one

 

I was born in 1987. Just thought I'd put that out there

 

Was it this one Bob?

Forgot our kit, and had to borrow?

 

Near as damn it Masky. The ref decided our kit and Mansfield's were too similar and because we didn't have a spare set of kit on the day we played in Mansfield's away kit.

 

Must have been a bit of a rush sewing the names on.

 

YOU OLD GIT!

'88 for me

 

Glad someone came up with the answer, I can't remember that far back these days.

 

I can't remember breakfast this morning!

 

Cold ham and pineapple pizza for me. Not sure where it came from, but it was in the kitchen this morning.
