He did, before us. Had a strange career he did, League Cup final appearance too, top flight after us with Derby... but career was done and dusted at a pretty young age really!

Not a winger, a left midfielder? Im pretty sure Derby paid us quite a bit for him. £750k - £1mil. Part of an earlier Derby splurge…think they bought John Gregory etc too?
When I think back I’m not quite sure what he did. However, cup winner ergo Cov Legend. seem to remember him scoring the winner vs Liverpool one year. Stood in the kop and the Liverpool fans started throwing stones at us.

I was there - At Ewood park on a windy rainswept evening in early 1993, when we rammed 5lives outrageous and biased favouritism towards Blackburn, well and truly back up their own hoop.

I was there (somebody please tell me they were too) when the away fans were put in that pen in the Spion Kop (nearest the main stand). I'm 90% plus sure it was against Everton and there was a mass snowball fight on the kop. May have been late 70s, possibly early 80s (I have a book somewhere that ought to help me pin it down!) I've mentioned it before on here, but don't think I have seen anyone else recall it!

It was Everton, and it was a random snowball fight until their lot got organised, and all let loose at once, and we got carpet bombed by snowballs

I was there at Luton (away) when Stuart Pearce scored a remarkable own goal with a diving header. Probably on par with Keith Houchens at Wembley Think it was his 2nd or 3rd game for us after signing from Wealdstone. We went on to win the game 4-2 !

Was anybody here at the Millwall FMC game in 85/86, our lowest post-war attendance in Cov of about 1,500?

Edit: probably not the lowest anymore given the number of JPT matches we've played recently.

How the referee and linesman in that match weren’t investigated heaven knows.

No but I remember going to some matches at Plough Lane against Wimbledon which were some of the lowest ever top league attendances.

I was there when Chelsea turned up in our away kit, remember it being midweek, wet and they hardly had any fans. Comfortably beat them as was normal in those days (paul williams goal?) and le bouef spat (or stamped) on the kit at full time

I was there at MK Dons away (the Hockey Stadium) We won about 3-1, but it was so cold that when we scored, most of our fans were too cold to do much more than shiver a bit more than they already were. Took me hours to defrost after that game!

Yes losing 0-2 if I remember correct but won the replayed fixture, I think 2-0 and I’m also sure it was a season we stayed up by the skin of our teeth.

I was there on the station at Chesterfield when Tim Fisher got a roasting by a group of our vans (gutted I never appeared on the video of it, but refused to give up my place on the bench for 5 seconds of 'fame') !

Remember it well
Believe they were still calling themselves Wimbledon that season despite being in MK. Wholly bizarre & should never have been allowed to happen.

Off the top of my head, only the Withdean Stadium in Brighton was probably a worse experience.
