I can remember seeing Peter Rodrigues score after going up front because he was injured - think it was against Rotherham, it was at the end of the season and I was there with school mates, it must have been one of the first games I went to.
Just checked it, we beat Rotherham 3-2 on 28/4/65 - I think it must have been that game.
Other than the Villa game, possibly the best match I can remember involving Bobby Brown was a 4-2 win against Palace, an evening game a few months before he got injured. I'm not sure but I think he may have bagged a couple of goals that night.
Has anyone mentioned that he was an England amateur international?
In my mind’s eye, I have it as a shot on the turn from the corner of the Grange End/Bob Bank a bit closer in than Peter King’s amazing volley against Middlesbrough, but your mind can play tricks on you. What I definitely remember being thrilled by one of Brown’s goals and thinking I’d never seen anything like it in my young life.
The game was played on 30/8/67 (thought it was a bit before that) and there were 14,351 watching it.
