Without a shred of a doubt 1978. Fortunate enough to say, "I was there".

 

'appy days.

It was the game that clinched our promotion, Tony Funnel scored the equaliser we needed and at the end of the game the surge forward pushed the wall over - I was stood against it and my Dad lifted me over it onto the pitch. I believe that the wall had gone over the week before and was not put back properly, it was only breeze block I think.

1978.....I was there.

Saints fans were everywhere.

I was't at the game but I always found I had disproportionately more Orient club badges when I opened packs of Panini stickers!

I was there but cannot really remember a thing.

 

I was there in 1966 and even remember where I stood and who played
