Another great thing about being back in the league is we do not have to play in any qualifying rounds, just to get into the first round proper.
This programme was a first round replay at Plainmoor after we drew the game nil all up at Ashton Gate. An estimated 1000 TUFC fans that made up 20% of the total where there to cheer on the team and yes I was one of them.
I felt like many others that we should have won the game up at Ashton Gate, we did deserve a goal to show for the way we attacked the game and one man stood out for me that day, Bruce Rioch, I’m sure Barton will feature him in his TUFC managers spot he is doing in the history room.
If you have any memories of the away and the home game then please share them on this thread. This period for me as a TUFC fan has to be one of my favourites; it just seemed special to have someone like Rioch out on the pitch for TUFC, who can ever forget the chants that went up when we won a free kick. Rioch, Rioch, Rioch, Rioch, would ring all around the ground and I’m sure Jon will tell us how many goals he scored for us.
But one of my all time favourite players was also playing for us at this time, yes Steve Cooper, what a brave player he was and how many times did he play while suffering real pain in his ankles.
This programme also had an article on how boots were made and also footballs, along with a great read The Antiquitites of Football
Some interesting names in the sponsors list and a few words on the News Desk page about how a few TUFC louts held up 400 peoples departure from the first game at Bristol, I wonder who they were?
