If i remember rightly, Houghton was dropped for that cup game against Chesterfield, (who were playing a division above us and brought a few boys)Chesterfield went 2 goals up before Houghton came off the bench to bag a brace himself.
Surprised to see Cribleys name on the team sheet, I honestly didn’t realise he went back that far! Did Botham not come on as sub in that Scunthorpe match or did I dream it?
I was at the game v Scunny away when Beefy made his debut and we absolutely destroyed them. Good to see the old Springy Scene again and I too would have been at the game.Some greats from the past on the old teamsheet.
Yeah I vagely remember going the away game it was either a Tuesday/Wedsnesday night then managing to get back into town for the last hr in Bluto’s bragging I’d been , was it 2-7 or something ?.
And the Hereford 1st game, can still smell the cow shiite from the cattle market outside the away end.[/quote]
Scunny away was the 81/82 promotion season. The game was Fri night and one of only 3 games i missed all season because work would not let me finish early to catch coach. The goals were shown following day on football focus.
Lol – It could almost put you off joining in on this memory lane trip. Thought i’d watched us for a long time but there are some proper long suffering tics fans on here.

That’s probably right a Friday,as I remember begging honkins to let me in Bluto’s half cut.
While were on a memory trip , who remembers 1/2 of these
I also went to the Scunthorpe away game. It was a Friday night before the League Cup Final the following day. TV with Jim Rosenthal did an article (obviously how Beefy would be able to plat lower league football against a team like Wigan). Although he tried to ‘put it about a bit’, Latics under Larry Lloyd were no shrinking violets and rendered him ineffective. I remember Lloyd being annoyed that we let in two.
