I sometimes forget that Gates was around the senior team when I see these older games, mainly because he didn't feature at Wembley.
Also, looks like the entire North was given over to the Gooners.
Eric was very much a bit part player who featured more and more from 1977 on. When the Dutch players came, a devastating role was found for him behind the front two that most teams employ now. In 76 he would have been about 21. He was a fantastic footballer.

That game at Highbury was my first Ipswich away game, repeat on 27th would be nice
We sat in the main stand with the Clock end to the right of us. We had similar seats the following season, but sadly we got walloped I think 4-1. I actually saw us a lot at Highbury and saw us win more than lose. Sounds strange today given how it is with the six elite clubs now.
Edit: the 4-1 loss was 78/79 season

Proper old school Umbro kit..
I like that kit.
I also liked the Beat running in from outside the box to make sure he hit the penalty hard enough. Hunters comments appeared to have several ff s in it. I am sure I dont understand what he said.

Eric Gates did
So did Liverpool
E Gates would recieve the ball with his back to the goal on the edge of the penalty area. He would turn and flick the ball forward. The central defender sticks out a leg to stop it and the boy Eric says thank you very much and falls over it into the penalty area. Step up J Wark 1-0, 2-0 etc

After the pen, nothing worse than lobbing a toilet roll which doesn't unfurl.
