It was indeed. Only consolation is I think he never played again.
The following year Justin Fashanu scored the winner I think and the SCENES contained moments of marvel.

I played all 90 minutes!
The Oldham team were great company that match.
The winning goal was scored by someone with unusually whiffy feet from what I recall.
Fratton Park 1984.
We lost 5-1 (Mark Hateley hat-trick), it pissed down all match and we were soaked as Away end was uncovered. The police kept us in for 30 minutes after in the rain in the assumption that the Pompey mob would disperse, then went off to their wagons as shifts finished.
Pompey...
Gillingham away 1976/77, we won 1-0 with a goal from Ian Mellor. I vaguely remember a couple of 'crews' from other teams being at the match before and after it took place to add to the total mayhem.
There were scenes.
They were marvelous.
TBF PPF I cold day in Oldham with sleet doesn't narrow the days down very much. Checking the records in 1986 we played them in September at Boundary Park so you are probably right in terms of the weather.
