Thanks Phil...doggoneit, it's out there - we've all seen it on one of those old youtoobees or a clip from MotD. Need it for a skate....amazing goal, Ossie flicks it up and Jimbo crashes right over Gerry Ingram's (an ex-teammate of mine) long haired head.

 

Absolute beaut!!

That was the game we couldn't get to, being broke schoolkids we needed the transport. Then we ended up having to do a Geography Field Trip to Wales Dolgellau for the Semi and were told no field trip no A level...

 

We struggled to get reception on a tiny pocket radio all day as we climed up Cader Idris, after we came down the Mud Slide (like THAT would be allowed these days) we finally picked up the legendary words - "and now over to Stamford Bridge where Southampton have gone further ahead"

 

One lad fell off a rocl into the lake. The Geography Teacher then uttered the immortal words "calm down chaps, it's only a football match"

 

We had to do the whole make up bumps in the bunk beds, climb out a second floor window an convince the landlord of a local pub 4 miles away to turn on the TV for match of the day.... We were 5 minutes too late getting there!

 

Never seen those goals

Well now you owe me one Tim, as I have uploaded the short highlights from the Bradford quarter final here:

It wasn't actually on any MOTD video that I have - I found it on a Saints FA Cup DVD that I have from the Nostalgia series where it shows about about an hours worth of pre-match footage from the day of the Cup Final hosted by Dickie Davies and Brian Moore.

Y&B - thanks so much mate, marvelous memories...so many other things too, yeah the shirts changed, my mate Gerry Ingram was number 8 for them and on the near side of the wall. What was that little twirl Jim Mac did FFS and what was Mel Blythe so upset with their black defender for...obviously giving him some verbal??

 

Nice!! And it's all over the skate site now like stink on cheap cologne.

Remember the goal. Nice to see it again. If I'm correct, and the free kick was indirect, like Ernie Hunt's Coventry City free kick a few years earlier, I believe it should have been disallowed, because the ball had not moved its circumference across the ground, from the pass by Osgood.

 

Could be entirely wrong, of course.

Look in the record books, it was a goal !! I can't recall if it was an indirect free kick, that sort of thing tends not to stick in your memory, but I don't recall either any fuss being made at the time about whether the goal should have been disallowed.

I was chatting to a bloke at work the other day, and he reckoned Jim McCalliog was one of the worst players we'd ever signed. I really couldn't believe my ears. I reminded him of this particular goal, his goal in the Villa replay, and of course his defence splitting pass to Bobby Stokes in the final. but he still wouldn't have it.

The goal is in my memory bank Tim' date='along with the mad yorkies throwing beer cans at us for most of the game[/quote']

 

A mate of mine got nicked up there and as far as I know he has not been to a football match since. His watch fell off his wrist and as he bent down to try and pick it up he pushed into the back of one of Yorkshires finest and got done for violent conduct.

I think the law changed after those goals.

I think it just had to travel it's circumference, think about it, any free kick that was floated in would have to be disallowed if it had to go it's circumference along the ground.

 

 

Also, did Matty get the idea to do that vs Wimbledon from that goal?

Remember the Bradford game very well, about 15 of us travelled up in a Ford transit, Watney party sevens being thrown, nice little "discussions" with the Bradford fans as we made our way back to the transit. Good ole days :-)

 

 

A lot of Leeds vvankers with those Bradford tools....
