I was 15 years old and it was my first away game with my mates rather than my Dad. Spent most of the night dodging bricks, sitting on the train watching it get smashed up and generally shitting ourselves. Proper baptism of fire. Didn't they cancel the Seagull Special after that game?
Apologies if fixtures but I've just realised that it was our new managers Brother that ended Gerry Ryan's career back in 1985 at Selhurst. I can remember the noise of his leg snapping as if it were yesterday.
