Re: FA Cup Third Round Draw -Ball No 10

It seems that we've only played Wrexham in the FA Cup once, which was home and we won 3-2.

That was in the 1976/77 season.

Also, our first fixture against them was in 1961. I would have thought it would have been way before that.

We played Spurs in 1977 too. Won 1-0. We had quite a run ending with 1-2 loss to Everton. Their winner was a comedy of errors. I still think about it and still feel the pain.

Bob Latchford and Duncan McKenzie IIRC.
Wasn't it on MOTD too?

Bedlam that day. I was in the Canton, too, behind the goal. Wooden benches. Good for piles!

We always seemed to be number ten when the draw was done on the radio on a Monday lunchtime.

Because as a side in top 2 divisions alphabetically we are number 10.

To top it all a s**te draw Sheffield Wed away.

I just hope whoever it is we take it seriously

It would be refreshing for us to take it seriously, but alas, too many on here clamour for a ‘weakened’ team to be played. It’s actually a pathetic mindset.

The Pete Sayer goal was shown a lot afterwards

All 3 of our cup games, Spurs, Wrexham and Everton were on match of the day, it was the 50th anniversary of us winning the cup too

I remember the Spurs game was as Sayer's goal was on the MOTD intro for what seemed like decades.
