FlyBritishMidland Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 One of my earliest and best memories supporting The Rams. I was 10 at the time and my dad wouldn’t take me to the BBG because of all the hooliganism that was around in the 70s and 80s but I remember listening to the game on Radio Derby. Graham Richard’s commentary, bloomin’ marvellous. And I always wanted that shirt, if only they’d do a replica now. loweman2 and Reggie Greenwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I was at this match. Good day. Makes us a bit tinpot though having a thread about beating Forest 40 years ago though.

First few minutes, the lad in the white jacket in C stand throwing the ball at the forest player, a few seconds later you can see the police approach him. Peter Taylor in his smart Harrington jacket and Burberry scarf, looked like the Man from C&A. (ask yer dads). Pitch invasion when Archie curled that free kick in. Atmosphere was unreal, proper old school in and out the ground. Fantastic memories, its difficult to explain but we went from Champions in 1975 to relegation in 1980 while the gumps had their 3 seasons of glory. When we won this Cup match we were bottom of Division 2 and they were 2nd in the top tier. Think of the ten man game but ten times more important or the 5-0 thrashing...... Good times, ?

I was in the Lee Stand and it was great for a 10 year old. Stale beer, fag smoke looking over at the Forest fans in the Ossie End wondering why they hadn’t got two heads after the way my dad talked about them.

I agree about the significance of the win - I was at a music practice for a band I played in at the time, and watched the match with a mate from Nottingham in his local pub! Re "Man from C & A (ask yer dads)": I am one of the dads, but avoided the shop like the plague. Wasn't it the first place that old men could go and buy beige trousers? And no, I still haven't! uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
