Loved that, couldn’t spot myself in the crowd though. :thumbup:

Not me neither.

I’m probably in it - I was in my usual place for that time, leaning on Boy’s enclosure fence behind the goal.

I think I may have ventured to the back of the Grange End by 1970, it was a rite of passage mid teens:hehe:

The old black fella in the raincoat, fag hanging out his gob, holding his son on the barriers with the chain link fencing attached was a regular in that spot.

We've rarely had a better team, loved Ian Gibson in midfield, just £35K.

Great Tochack volley. This was a bit before I was born, thanks for posting 👍

We must have been close to one another then TOBW. Did they have that black tar on top of the wall then or did that come later?

Now that was football. If only the players here today could play like that!

Re: Cardiff City 1970

I can't remember if I was still behind the goal or had started to venture over to the Bob Bank near the camera gantry. Anyhow, great times. Toshack was unplayable in the air and Gibson was a magician.

Re: Cardiff City 1970

That was my second ever game watching the City. I’d seen Tosh score 2 against Birmingham a few weeks before, then he scored 3 against Hull, and then he was gone. Twice I saw him play for the Bluebirds and 5 goals scored. That’s why he has always been my ultimate idol.

Re: Cardiff City 1970

I've always thought that it was John Toshacks last game for us?
It was my first game that season after four months RAF training in Lincoln and midway through my Air Traffic Controller training at Shawbury (best forces food anywhere) just outside Shrewsbury.
