I was in school and there was a great absenteeism on Wednesday (it was sports day!) as so many went up to Sheffield by coach.

At 4-1 it was time to leave and go to the pub but we kids weren't allowed to by the leader of the Grange End mob, whose name now escapes me. Bearded fellow, didn't argue with him.

Got home about 4 a.m. and faced a school inquest next morning.

Gil Reece was brilliant that night, but when we signed him soon afterwards he was ....not so good. I have a feeling our goal was an og as well.

No wonder we are rather pessimistic supporters.

He scored one of their goals and, apparently, ran us ragged.

I tried to forget about the game by going to play five a side football in the old Dutch barn in Cantonian lower school - it didn't work!
