Was there when Wille Anderson scored the winner in a 1-0, 73 I think?

The away game I meant was the first back in the second division (August 1972) 1972-73 season 1-0 Willie Anderson header !

We also beat them at home in the first game of the following season (73-74)  2-0 - I got my mum and dad to drop me off on the way home from a family holder in Weymouth - got in just before half time - but it was worth it !

Was that the game where Harry Gregory knocked a copper's hat off at the Witton End after scoring?

No mate, that was at Villa Park in a 3-0 win over Swansea.

Cheers for that. I always thought it was the Preston game.
