Also at the Jacks v Palace game close to Rudi Pika as he had some punchbag practice. Who thought Ninian Park was a good place to hold it ?

Ninian park was Toshack's choice. He won the toss after the replay. That is how it worked apparently. Toss the coin, the winner chooses the venue. was at the game and was in the corner of the Bob bank with city fans. Strange night on the Bob Bank.

The 85 Scotland result stayed with me for ages as well. It felt so unfair with them and NI qualifying for back to back WC and us watching. On a similar theme I remember walking into the current stadium in Coleman's last WC qualifier and seeing the f in thousands of Ireland fans and thinking why the hell have we given them so many. It felt an omen - and was!
