FA Cup Memories

[goats]

Start of the run which led to losing to Everton at home in the fifth round. Fourth round was the famous 3-2 win over Wrexham. Billy Ashcroft equalised in the 89th minute and John Buchanan scored the winner almost straight away.

Many thought at the time that it was Cardiff's year to win with it being 50 years since 1927.

Big crowds at Ninian Park for those days in all three games. 27868 v Tottenham, 28,953 v Wrexham and 35,582 v Everton. League average that season was 12 thousand.

The Wrexham game was on Match of the Day as well, but I think that the Everton one wasn't because of a BBC strike.

Fa cup games seemed to have bigger crowds than division one back then

Morys Scott scored all 3 of our goals in the tie. Whatever happened to Morys Scott?

I was on the Bob Bank that day and was convinced the McKenzie tapped Larmour’s ankles. Watching it back, I think I was way off the mark, seemed a legit goal.

I was right in line with it Steve and i am sure McKenzie stepped on the heel of lamour's boot and then got away from him. He seemed to take on a few players and calmly slot the ball in the net.

Yes , 2 nil down

Bedlam all day and night

At the time I was convinced he’d tapped the ankles of Larmour, I’m sure I’ve seen a clip since though that proves me wrong. I do remember fellow City fans fuming at the time.

Here's the goal. Maybe Lamour should have gone down clutching his ankle. McKenzie was not as clinical as I remember. If there was some less panicky defending we could have got away with it. But there wasn't. And we didn't.

Thanks for posting. That is the first time I have seen that goal since that day.

I couldn't remember the run on goal, and I can now see what theotherbobwilson thought could have been a foul in the lead up to it.

However I am surprised about how close I was to remembering the last few seconds... I mean about the oil tanker sixpence turn, and the lack of a challenge by the City players.

The other thing I had forgotten about that game was that there were other goals scored; I always thought we were beaten 0-1. It would be interesting to see the Tony (walks on water) Evans goal.

Given the state of that penalty area, he did well to turn at all!

He almost scored a worldie. Picked up the ball in our area, ran the length of the pitch beating about 6 Gloucester players, had a one on one with the keeper, and put it wide!!

thanks for clarification

Weymouth 83 was a bad memory for me a window cleaner scored a hat trick to beat us but we did go on to get promotion that year so perhaps the old saying of concentrating on the league worked out for us that year.

My memory is not great but think it was round 2. We lost 2-3 and pretty sure we’d been in front. I was 14. Absolutely gutted. But then hemmerman banged them in from everywhere in the league and ended up being one of my favourite ever seasons.

In the first leg about 50 Gloucester City came into Downtown, but it was fairly good natured.

The second match in Gloucester was lively, and loads of us got in without paying in the home end after City fans pulled down fences outside .

Good times following City them days.

Middlesbrough home was a bit mad outside The Albert when around 130 attacked about 60 of us with bottles etc apparently the cameras were not working

Yer I think we were 2 up
I remember the banter from the play ground plastics in school on the Monday.
On the Duncan McKenzie goal for Everton I always remember that goal as the Albert lamour bad back pass goal.
