I'm pretty sure that York City played in brown when we met them in the FA Cup in 69/70 and again in the league in 74/75 when for some reason we wore an all yellow strip despite being at home.

Well slap my arse and call me Sally.
I was convinced it was 4-1.
I'm getting old.

I'm not in to that sort of stuff.

You may be right! I had a very disciplinarian father and didn't the home game go into extra time (resulting in a 3-1 win for City), which resulted in a bit of a tolchocking when I got home late.

I was there, enjoyed every minute of that thrashing. Distinctly remember Toshack goals and I'm sure that was the game that Toshack went up for the ball , sort of barged the keeper, ball spilled
and the goal was allowed,lol.

Oooooh I loved those European night games.

The Cup replay in 69/70 did go to extra time so you may well have had a 'tolchocking', however it finished 1-1 and we had to play a 2nd replay at St Andrews a few days later which we lost 1-3.

European football on a Wednesday night.
They were great nights, playing against clubs many of us had never heard of.
We were so lucky that the Welsh Cup existed and we could play in it.
I was almost certainly at this match. I don’t have the recall that some fans appear to have☹️
