One for the oldies on 16:39 - Dec 28 by oldburian | It was my first move away from Suffolk and I was working at County Hall Chelmsford. The relief at winning and avoiding the total p*ss take on the Monday was monumental. When Chelmsford scored their late consolation goal one of their supporters had a fatal heart attack. It was plain sailing with Burleys early goal as Viljoen pointed out afterwards. |
Harper scored Town's first goal with a fierce shot after a dubiously awarded free kick. Burley didn't make his Town debut until December 1973. Official attendance was 15,557 & yes, it was a crush. Was an all ticket game & the attendance was short of the ground record of 16,807. I believe they printed 18,000 tickets & just as well that they didn't sell all of them. | |
