It's amazing how a photo can dredge the memories up, I had to get to Walton on the Naze as soon as we got back to London, my girlfriend's parents had a caravan there. Very slow old rattler from Liverpool St and got to the social club just in time to miss last orders, perfect end to a perfect day.

Sad to think that we were their equals for a few seasons previous, who knows what Eddie McCreadie could have achieve with even a modest transfer budget, because that was a superb generation of young talent coming through at the same time.
November 3, 20196 yr Clive Walker v Liverpool at The Bridge in 1977/78. Is that Joey Jones beside Clive ?

Good shout. A great Chelsea 'What if ?'
November 3, 20196 yr https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/falkirk/interview-kevin-mcallister-still-grieving-end-of-brockville-1-4002614 Nice little read about a player who had a good few years with us.

It is Ersk, the other three are L/R Terry McDermott, John Sparrow and Phil Thompson...I'm in the North Stand, and later that evening very drunk in the Morden Tavern.

Weren't we the only team to beat them (with that goal by Trevor Aylott pictured above) in the season after we got promoted together and they won the league? (Pretty sure Aylott never scored another goal for us. To this day I've never heard our fans give a player abuse like they used to give him - apart from Paul Canoville). Edit: Just seen your post saying Forest lost three games. I think we might have been the first team to beat them. Edited November 4, 20196 yr by Backbiter

In 1977/78 Arsenal beat Forest 3-0 at Highbury in Sept, we beat them 1-0 at The Bridge in Nov and also Leeds beat them 1-0 in Nov. They weren't deteated again until early Dec 1978 ain the League when Liverpool beat them 2-0 at Anfield. Some record. Brian Clough would have hated losing to Leeds, but i'm sure Forest beat Leeds in the 1978 League Cup Semi Finals.
November 4, 20196 yr Tuesday, 4th Nov 1958. Fairs Cup - 1st Round - 2nd Leg and a crowd of 13,104 saw us win 4-1. Our scorers: Jimmy Greaves with 2,Peter Sillet and a George Lees OG.
