Just seen it at Forrest Pines. The driver was scouse and he had a weird plaster thing on his nose.

Quoted from BIGChris
Certainly remember the two cup replays, including my only visit to the Dell.
Osgood, Ball Etc and town drew 0-0 before losing the 2nd replay 4-1.

That was the last time we played them, Jan 1978


I was there that night at Filbert Street Leicester, I remember their left back, David Peach, tore us to bits.

In the first leg Mike Brolly executed a great overhead shot on goal. Can't remember if it was saved or went wide, but it was fantastically athletic.

Didn't go to the replay at the Dell, but I vaguely remember that the Town team had to pop into Norris the Rubber Man to buy a new pale blue fourth kit, because the stripes, then the red 2nd and white 3rd kits were not deemed to be sufficiently different to Southampton's strip.

Hitched from university over to Leicester for the re-replay with a supporter who I still see in the Pontoon -- I remember a great Town turnout there.

I remember calling in for a pint on the way home at the Pauncefort Arms in East Stoke, now an Indian Restaurant, which was packed with town fans who left the pub in a bit of a state to put it mildly!

April 1960 Pete. We beat Southampton on a Tuesday night 3-2. They were already promoted from Div 3 and their side included Brian Clifton and Derek Reeve who scored their goals plus Terry Paine on the right wing.

Johnny Scott was on fire that night and he combined with Don Donovan brilliantly to give Ron Raff two of Town's goals.

Brian Clifton was an old fashioned wing half but after his knee injury he converted to centre half. Not very tall but he won headers OK. Good cricketer too for Ross Group.


I had forgotton that one mate,
