Me too, Andrew...! :thumbup:

We threw away (another :laughing6: ) 2 - 0 lead late on and Buchanan unleashed one of his legendary 'Exocets' to win the game very late on...! :clap: :ayatollah: :notworthy:

The next round v Everton was eventful.
Those pundits (rightly) condemning the scenes at the Hawthorns on Sunday should have been at Ninian that day mate. :shock:

Remember both games well, for different reasons.

spurs in the first game of that cup run was crazy. Fighting everywhere all day, and Spurs fans outside the Grangend when the game finished. All that aside Peter Sayer scored that goal that ultimately was goal of the season.

A great game and on Match of the Day in the days when only two or three games were on. I was making my way down the Grange End to the exit and contemplating a mid week trip to Wrexham when Grapes- I think- got to the bye line and cut the ball back for Buchanan. I don't remember it as an Exocet though, i thought he calmly sidefooted it into the bottom corner

Yes the Grange end, I was quite young & stood towards the front, when it went in some huge fat guy grabbed me & started hugging me.

Remember it well.
As Wez said, don't get the love in with these teams. They hate our guts and as far as I am concerned the feeling is mutual.

I started the game in the enclosure engaging in close and personal conversations with our Northern cousins but after some time was politely removed from the ground by some tall-hatted gentlemen.

Back in the ground via the Grange-End turnstiles and Buchy slots it in the net right in front of me. Deep joy!

What larks!
