The main difference between now and then....was that the players used to come and sup some ale with Leefer and me in the CGH before a game....now they just do it on a Friday night, and are therefore hungover

If you look at the end of the clip you will see a young Reg being escorted of by a Town player just after the celebrations of the goal...looks like he is wearing a long donkey jacket.

There was only 17,500 there that day, I think most of us have been in bigger crowds ar the County Ground but the stands were heaving cos they were so much smaller then.

You can just about pick Reg out at 1:11, the one in the cap halfway along the middle.

Reg was shocked by that result since he had that particular team down as relegation fodder, and he had predicted a crowd of less than 7000.
