Football in the old days

I was at the Bury one.

20th September 1980 was a good wedding day - we beat Wolves during a great run for us - only home game I missed that season.
Remember being elated at the result...can't remember my speech, my brother's (best man) or anything else about it except for the round of applause we got from the invited guests prompted by the wonderful old priest who had a real soft spot for us.
Then my Villa mates arrived for the evening do...one of them with a copy of the Argus for me!

The Bury game was shite awful. A 3-1 tanking at the snothole at the end of the universe. The most interesting part of the day was travelling through a place called Besses o'th' Barn on the train from Manchester.

I was at the game on the 27th too. I hope the result didn't cool your ardour too much EIA.

One of the things i liked back in the old days,is you knew in advance when,where and what time you would be playing at the start of the season and could plan in advance.These days,i don't know until maybe a month or so before the match.
