[QUOTE=olderblue;5372798]You’re right I think - pretty sure we beat the jacks 1-0 on Easter Monday 1980 and then lost by the same score to Leicester the following day, both games were played at Ninian Park.Quote:

[QUOTE=olderblue;5372805]If Lindon Jones got sent off at Bristol I think I came over from the Isle of Man for both of those games with my dad. We were definitely at the 3-3 and I've been to a dull nil nil at Ashton gate as a kidQuote:

That was the game I learned the lesson of stay to the end of a game. We were 3-1 down with a few minutes left, so me and my brother walked out behind the Canton Stand listening to the game on the radio. We then had to walk past the ground on Sloper Road, but Peter Kitchen scored as we reached the Grange End with all of the Swansea fans on it. The exit gate was open, so we could see the goal City were attacking from Sloper Road and decided to stay there and watch the goal (we could see to about the edge of the six yard box) and see what happened.Quote:

So, when someone asks me if I saw Buchanan’s goal against the jacks, I answer I did and I didn’t.
Just to say that the paperback of the book is now available at
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BQ58HQ...1019275&sr=1-1
Is it available at the the club shop?
No, only Amazon for now I'm afraid - I'll look to get some copies available in the Trust Office after Christmas.Quote:
