What a day and what a come-back.
Early kick-off (2:30?) because of the coal strike. I think Saltley Gates was the same week.

I was at that game. Bournemouth had some very high quality strikers for a small third division club. Ted MacDougall, who scored their goal, and also Phil Boyer. Both were sold eventually and went on to play in the top division.

Wow Towser, what a game to start with. Must have been overwhelming with that atmosphere.
My first was Villa v Oldham in 1975, again an amazing atmosphere although not on the level of the Bournemouth game.
