Extended highlights of this match. Paul Elliott really was a bit rubbish wasn't he!

That is what you get when flog a centre half to Luton and then pay about six times as much for the player he is keeping out of the team.

For some reason I was in the Witton Lane with then girlfriend, now wife, surrounded by all the Arse fans who ran on the pitch celebrating Nicholas's goal. They took great delight in trying to chat up my girlfriend whilst taking the piss out of me. Fortunately they had been moved on by the time we scored our equalizer.

First match my wife went to was losing 6 two at home to Arse in 1983, Woodcock got four I think

I thought he got 5. I was living in Paris as a student and Saturday was a desperate weekly struggle to get the results as the world service signal was really up and down.

I remember being out with a gorgeous girl that night too. It helped console me somewhat.

I'm sure he got 5 and I think Ian Rush got 5 against Luton the same day.

Strange what you remember, I've not forgotten that dodgy jig and pointy finger goal celebration from Charlie Nicholas (followed by Arse fans running on the pitch) for 29 years, and haven't seen it since until now.

I also always remember that and also Barry Davies interviewing Turner after we won the replay.
"Would you have been sacked if you had lost tonight"?
"No."
"Are you sure of that"?
"No."
