Marty Mcfly? He come back from the future and has been watching Neil Warnocks Cardiff.
I had a ST in the Canton at that time. Cant see myself in the pic though. 🤒
City v Bolton Wanderers 26/04/1975. The photo appeared in the Western Mail on the following Monday. I'm the bloke with long hair,looking away from the pitch, sitting a few rows behind the Bolton fan sleeping on the front bench.
Its Gareth Bale
Had he had a leathering ?Quote:

We used to give the postman a right hammeringQuote:

It was Don Murray who had travelled down from Edinburgh to watch our demise.Quote:

On one such occasion the aforesaid Don Murray mistook me for somebody who had insulted his wife and grabbed me by the throat - not a pleasant experience for a skinny 18 year old :hide:. Ah, life was so different back then :biggrin:.Quote:

I was at that game, pretty sure we were either already down or already relegated that day
If that makes sense:hehe:
Surely thats not a football crowd. Why are there people with Jackets and ties??..Thats not the granstand.
Definitely a victim of SAQuote:
