v Liverpool. FA Cup at The Bridge 3rd Rd FA Cup 1977/78

Highlights.

The late, great, Brian Moore commentating.

Brian Moore was a brilliant commentator as were many of his contemporaries. Modern day commentators should take time to listen to and learn from Moore etc. I reckon commentaries would improve immensely if they did.

Hull swamped the shed end in 1966 , dunno how many they brought down but it was pretty impressive .Think we stood under North stand that day, as we had to a couple of times when

United got in early and sheer numbers meant we couldn't get under the roof.

^ That's impressive from Hull supporters.

From what people have told me, only West Ham and Arsenal supporters were able to "swamp" the Shed on a regular basis in the late 60s/early 70s period.

Yeah, their swamping was more like violent attacks !... United must have got in as soon as the gates opened.when we arrived the place was already full.of em. 2nd time it happened we had to stand at the bovril end of the shed... They never tried  it ever again though !

From  the Redtwins website. They reckon they took the shed in 1973 ! Dunno about that.

Well, the early "bovver" was some of the older Fulham road supporters attacking other fans,  usually just harmless men and youngsters tbh  , pretty much had it out own way until West Ham and Arsenal turned up though..  first time we had seen a group of fans hell bent on dishing it out to us at our place. By the time of the Final v spurs we had a decent group of die hard s together, during the late sixties.

Totally agree.

My favourite bbc football tv commentator was Barry Davies and Peter Jones was a fantastic football commentator on bbc radio during the 1970s and 80s.

Worth a read.

  Wed, 8th Jan 1964 at 7:30pm.   We beat Spuds 2-0 in the FA Cup 3rd Round replay.  The first game was a 1-1 draw on Sat 4th Jan.

Our scores were: Bobby Tambling 17th min and Bert Murray 74th min.    Terry Venables had a penalty saved by the Spuds keeper in the 19th min.           

A very good crowd of 70,123 saw the win.

 Another win over Spuds  again on 8th Jan, this time just two years later on 8th Jan 1966.   In the league.  We won 2-1.

Our scorers: George Graham 60th min and Peter Osgood 85th min. 

We'd gone behind in the 6th min, when Dave MacKay scored with a penalty.

A crowd of  48,529  saw it.

 

A 2-2 draw in 1972 v Huddersfield with David Webb in goal on the cover ,

Then two 1-1 draws with, Southampton in the FA Cup in 1977 (who were the holders remember  !) and Huddersfield again. This time in 1983.

And I remember the Shed giving Ossie unforgivable abuse at one point in the replay

He shook his head in disbelief, it was embarrassing for the majority of us.
