Mine was 71/72 and, although the actual match was pretty poor and yes, a setup draw, the occasion and the season was just fantastic
That Shef Weds game was a thriller as it looked like nerves had got the better of us, going a goal down & missing a pen. the sheer relief of the equiliser and eventually taking the lead was fantastic and, at the 3rd goal we thought it was all over and fans were already 'over the wall' ready to...
