Really love these programme pages, but the date given, 29/02/79, is impossible since 1979 wasn't a leap year.

Plainmoor was an absolute mud-heap for this game but Mike Green's team could create chances and score goals on any surface.
The fact it was only 1-0 was down to a breathtakingly brilliant performance from Crewe's keeper.
Change from the programme, not Dave Felgate but a young Zimbabwean called Bruce Grobbelaar. Whatever happened to him?

I had only been a Plainmoor regular for two or three months at the time of this fixture and up until that point had not seen Torquay lose as we really were in the mix for promotion. Crewe were terrible that season and so I remember thinking this was going to be an easy win, although my dad’s friend did caution me that we had lost 6-2 to them the season before. It was probably (up to that point) one of the toughest games I saw and partly because of Bruce Grobbelaar. Even as an 11 year-old, he stood out and I could tell he was something special. Possibly the best goalkeeping performance I ever saw at Plainmoor although my memory may be playing tricks.
