‘83 was the year.
That game in 1984. Yes -fair enough, we had got to the final the year before. But still.
Watch from 59.00 onwards - in real time, not highlights. The first goal, great - but then whilst we were all still noisy and bouncy, listen to the expectant roar as Connor was put through (you don't seem to hear that sort of noise much now, not sure why) - then we all went batshit mental. Celebrating when still in a celebratory mood is something quite special. Bigger win for me than the year before, and one of the most special moments in football for me. So far!
Don't forget the home drubbing by Oxford in 1982...Sadly, WE were the giant killed (“giant” used very loosely considering our level at the time) most of the time.
Kingstonian, Sudbury Town, Walton & Hersham, Mansfield, Lincoln… narrowly avoided against Canvey Island (“if my granny had balls”)
