Was living down south at the time,and came up the Friday and went to Sparks then Zanzibar on the Friday night.
Remember vaguely lots of guys from Leeds and Doncaster being up for the game
Day off the game Burns tavern for opening time......stayed there till about one,then headed up to get the train.
When we got to the station there was a massive Q,with BTP dogs going mental etc etc, so we just walked down the hill at the side of the station,got a train to Newton,then on to Mount Florida and had a few in "Boons Yard".
As usaul we just had to have one too many,and missed the K.O.
The first thing I saw was Hamish French putting the ball in the net which thankfully got chopped off.
Have never been so nervous at a match, and my abiding memory of thegame at the equaliser 3-3 was Alan Main diving on his belly across the Hampden turf.
:wank:
Train & carryoot back to McDonalds for scran then down to Burns tavern and drank copious amounts of "Schlitz" lager .
Then at some point ended in the Chinese takeaway opposite the Woodcutter,where a
guy 6ft plus, stole my bar scarf (Xmas present 1973) from my brother in law 5ft 0" which ended up in me and him rolling about the floor,and Strathclydes finest saving the day as I was getting a bit of a kicking
My regret was not going to Fir Park that night and missing the parade the next day,by the time I got there it was all over.
Well theres always this year............
