Title: Swindon 5 Fulham 0

Anyone know if there is any video of this game? A question on The Chase reminded me of this fantastic performance against a Fulham team with Best, Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh. Went to the game at Craven Cottage and saw the draw and also the replay at the CG.

Ditto. Two great games.

We were 3-1 up and they scored late goal to bring a replay.
Cracking support and McHale ran the show.
What great times.

I thought it was Rodney Marsh that was the target of the ditty, there was never any doubt about George Best

I think you're right now looking back but it was a long time ago!

I also went to both games.
In the first one, Rodney Marsh scored two, the first (which made it 1-1) I remember as being a brilliant goal - placed in the bottom corner from outside the box.
We were superb in ten replay as the score suggests.
In the next round, we drew1-1 away to West Ham and list the replay 2-1 - I remember their fans being a bit vicious in both ties.

A great 4 days, with the disappointment of the late equaliser at the Cottage more than compensated for.

I used to have a white and navy stripey Breton fisherman's beeny.

Was it any of you cunts that snatched it off my head as we were leaving the away end at full time?  I took a few kicks trying unsuccesfully to secure its return.   >:(

I didn't get in the ground until half time, on the Bank eventually.
Luckily, all the goals were in the second half, if I remember correctly.
My Dad spent the evening sat in the car, as he gave up trying to get in !

Great watch that. Proper footballs. Who can forget that terrace classic "You're gonna get your fucking 'eds kicked in"?

Jumpers for goalposts, isn't it?
