Good Friday 1979
First ever game and arguably the finest ever Latics comeback.
How about “The Long Good Friday” Vince?
I’ll go for Mission Impossible
That would have been a great title.
Was a very long first 70 minutes from memory.
Have a vague memory of the sky turning black as the third goal went in from Port Vale replaced by bright sunshine as Latics staged their glorious comeback.
Latics have staged many great comebacks over the years but not one as good as that one.
Had a chat with big Noel Ward about this game a few years back.
My first ever game watching Latics.
