my memory has got a bit muddled with age but i am sure he did. denis reeves missed kicked due to a split boot and bell scored. over 45 thousand on that dayDid he score? I thought Young scored the goal? Still, I’m not going to argue with you – I can’t remember what I was doing yesterday
Bell crossed the ball for young to score after reeves miskicked due to a split boot I was their that day a wide eyed 11year old and we battered them

Griff, according to a video I found it was Bell who scored???

I have the clip on a video and was looking to transfer it to computer as a look how far we have come sort of thing with the final, but haven’t got round to it yet.
edit
Simmpool I have 2 lasting memories of that game
1) It was the first time I had seen a real skinhead
2) Manchester City(Neil Young in particular) peppering our goal with shots, we certainly didn’t batter them, although Corrigan made a world class save in front of us from a Geoff Davies header.
That’s fine, I just needed to know that he actually played in the game to satisfy the rules (my own) of a blog I am writing.
Cheers

Confirms it ?
Stick to winding griff up.
I know it’s over 40 years ago but I don’t remember City (Neil Young in particular) peppering our goal with shots. They hit the bar in the first half with a looping shot/header but I don’t remember Reeves making a huge number of saves.
In addition to the header, Geoff Davies had a shot that struck Corrigan’s legs as he dived the wrong way.
As anyone got the motd highlights of the game now that would be quality I think it was graham oates who’s shot hit corrrigans studs he also made a top save from jim fleming.
