I can still 'taste' the atmosphere of that game.

I was 16 years of age and stood in the Barratt Stand. Dear old Charles Ekberg was commentating that day and went through the possible scenarios of who would win the 3rd Division Championship (us or Blackburn Rovers).

A win was the requirement to guarantee the title and what a win it was.

As my bookmarked status below has always stated .......... 1979/80.....now that was a team!


Batch, K.Moore, Waters, Wiggington, Crombie, Brolly, Ford, Drinkell, Mitchell, Cumming, Kilmore. D.Moore, Stone, Liddell. ....1979/80..... now that WAS a team.

It was a great day watching Town win the title in front of a electric atmosphere in BP ( reminds me of the Everton cup game)

I see Towns two goalscorers that day are at the Carr Lane Social Club tomorrow night -

What a night, Mick Brolley scoring both.

I can still see the headlines on the back page of the Daily Mirror the day after, it read- "Brolley reigns"

I think it was October 1979, but not certain.

Lots of us were 'Arry....we used to be packed in there like sardines for the big games back then

Made for a fantastic atmosphere though...no comparison at all with today's seating arrangements in the Pontoon

Also that season, apart from beating Sheffield United in the last game, this is how good we finished the season-
We lost eight games in the league up to mid November, then after that we only lost two more league games for the rest of the season.
We went top of the league in March, after drawing with Hull City away, and stayed there till May.
We had a 15 game unbeaten run to the end of the season.
Also getting to round 5 of the league cup, only losing to Wolves in the 2nd replay.
The only fly in the ointment was losing to Liverpool, away 5-0  in the FA Cup 3rd round.
Probably has to be my favourite season supporting town, of all time. Even though 71-72 took some beating.
Great, great times.

They will return.

Also my favourite season supporting Town, I went to all the games you picked out.

I cannot remember for the life of me where the second Wolves replay was, I think it may have been at Derby was it ?

Has any on here ever seen the TV footage of the Town 4 v 0 Sheff Utd game?    

Random footage often turns up on Mariners World & YouTube. But have never seen this.

It was before my time - but remember writing to Goals on Sunday years ago when they used to ask for fans to request  to view a game from years ago. Never got it! 😥
