Off the top of my head Rotherham, Mansfield, Reading, Middlesbrough, Preston.

Honourable mention for Billy Rodaway.

I remember that game, We went two nil up after 5 minutes then nothing else happened! It was really cold on an open terrace I seem to remember.

A good read that. My feeling last time, and remains this time, is that Critch can't be questioned as a coach but is he a good match manager? It was when Calderwood and McCall were here that we managed games the best.

I saw Alan Groves' first game for us away at Stoke and he was brilliant. Sadly he never quite did it again in his few remaining games.

Alan Groves RIP. Was beating defenders for fun in a 2-1 win at Stoke. It must have been 1977 or 78. Sadly he never quite did the same again.

7 December 1972 Wishbone Ash, Preston Guildhall

I'm not surprised Kenny's not in. He rarely starts after travelling around the world. Looks like 3 at the back with scope to change depending how the game goes.

Halifax. The wettest I have ever been.

First mention for Floor Jansen of Nightwish.

It was blowing a gale towards the north that night as well. Most couldn't have kicked it that far into that wind.

It was right below me and unless something had been said there seemed to be no reason at all.

I remember thinking when Kevin Kyle whacked Shaun Barker for no reason "there's a Scotsman making sure he's off for hogmanay".

When Ginge smashed in that 30 yarder at Preston I leapt up and saw my wallet fly out of my inside coat pocket and land about six rows forward! It was returned by some very kind and honest people.

That could well be right. There's no arc on the edge of the penalty area. That was introduced in 1937 apparently.

I remember we'd just signed Alan Groves and he was sensational in that game which I think was late 77. He never quite did it again and very sadly passed away the following summer.

There was one at Halifax about 1982. I have still never seen rain like it! We were on a long curved open end with no shelter at all.
