1976/77 - The infamous 2-2 draw vs Bristol City at HR.
Sat in the front row of the pitch level seats, behind the little white wall that was in front of the Main Stand.

My Grandad used to go with his Dad in the 1930’s and watched Clarrie Bourton. He used to tell a story often about when they played Luton and 10 goal Payne, the Luton striker I think. He said his Dad got into a row with with an away fan and pushed him down the bank. Must have been the beginnings of The LegionWould be interested to hear from older posters on their dad/grandad’s first games. Any second hand accounts of people who watched Clarrie Bourton in the 30s or the infamously shite team from 1919-20?

Is he still available?My Grandad played in goal for city during the 1919-20 season, albeit for only 3 games....
Not sure I should be admitting this, given they were infamously shite.....
I’ve got that programme at home but have no recollection of the game. Was probably being an annoying 7 year old arsehole to my dad
Now in my mid 50s, i vividly remember as a kid, walking up those long steps to the Spion Kop end, and thinking how green the grass was, and how bright the floodlights were....innocent times.

I'm sure I was taught 'cit cit cit city, score a little goal for me' by my grandad as a kid in the 80s, to the tune of chick chick chicken- think that was an oldie even then"Up The Bantams" was popular according to a quick A.I. search.
