While I was vaguely aware that we'd beaten Wisbech 10-1 some time in the 1960s, I didn't know until recently that we then thrashed Southend 9-1 in the same month.
So which lucky NSCers got to see these matches?

I found the Daily Mirror report of the Southend match, which you can see below:

Looking at the results for the 1965/66 season, we also beat Mansfield 6-4 a couple of months later at the Goldstone with goals from Tawse (2), J Smith, Livesey 2 and an own goal. Must have been good times. I wish I was there...
