I remember the 1st leg, I was in the Scratchers. I then bought the video of the game as you could back then from the club. I remember the classic line from our “commentator” on said video when we scored......”stick that in your pipe and smoke it Geordies”.I missed Steve Morgan's goals because I was still outside trying to get in.
Did Gazza play an awful back pass for Tony Cunningham to score.I remember the 1st leg, I was in the Scratchers. I then bought the video of the game as you could back then from the club.

He did indeed.Did Gazza play an awful back pass for Tony Cunningham to score.
You've never been to Exeter?Usual West Paddock spot for the first leg. First time I went to St James Park.
Also travelled from London by car. For the final stretch of the journey, we were followed by police. They pulled us over and asked where we had been. It was funny watching them work out that we must have averaged nearly 90 mph!Travelled from London with Basil by car I think. I remember Newcastle fans buzzing about Mirandinha
It would have been Paul Jones. I played against him in the North West Counties league just after his pro career ended. Still had class and great positional sense despite being on the way down.Mirandinha. I remember watching him on the live game giving Lawrenson a head start the week before, and wondering who on earth we had that could cope with him.
As I recall, a combination of Walshy and the other CH (was it Dave Jones), he barely got a look in at home. Made up for it at St James of course.
Hadn't he played in Sweden or something before signing for us? Don't know why I remember that.It would have been Paul Jones. I played against him in the North West Counties league just after his pro career ended. Still had class and great positional sense despite being on the way down.
If I remember the right game then the police sent a convoy of motorbikes to escort coaches back to the M6 to make sure nobody could stop for a beer.
Think we got him from Oldham. There's an IKEA there.Hadn't he played in Sweden or something before signing for us? Don't know why I remember that.
Based on their equaliser, it was Skully at the back with Walsh.
Yep Old Walshy had Mirandinha on toast the first game.Mirandinha. I remember watching him on the live game giving Lawrenson a head start the week before, and wondering who on earth we had that could cope with him.
