Nice to see that someone has considered an appropriate reply for nearly 2 years. I (and others) should stop firing from the hip.

Nearly 50 years later and this still remains the Utd Sunderland game for me

TBF to the makems they brought one of the biggest followings that day

Agreed. Midweek top of the table clash. 60 000 there on a Wednesday night, as I recall. I was in the scoreboard end.

No, it was a Saturday. That’s why the programme says 3pm kick-off.

Definitely a Satterdeh. Might have been a midweek cup game?

Two entertaining, attacking sides going at it. Full house and sounded like it.

Also, remember the away game that season. We’d just signed Ron Davies 5 years too late. Horrified at the sight of him coming out of the tunnel for his debut, looking more like Bernard Manning. Oddly subdued 0-0 score line.
