Exeter (H) 1997

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

Did this really happen?! I remember the game but don't remember MARK FOX coming on for Ormerod. It was the game after Fans United - a very important 3 points for us that night! Got this off soccerbase (because I was sad enough to be checking out some old scores!). Anyone remember this? Did Fox replace Ormerod at the end?!?!

M. Ormerod (M. Fox, 90), P. Smith, S. Tuck, D. Mundee (R. Johnson, 83), D. Allan, G. Hobson, S. Storer, K. Mayo, I. Baird, C. Maskell, P. McDonald

Nope

Nope

Mark Fox was an excellent player. As was his brother Simon. Wasted talent. But not a keeper.

My last ever game at the goldstone. Don't remember much about it, but that sub don't look right

That was my last Goldstone game but I can barely remember it.

Let anyone tempted to moan about bad times when we lose a game take a look at that team, and realise nothing Poyet does could ever be that bad. Easy to forget, isn't it? Derek Allan and Denny Mundee

Did we win 1-0 Storer scoring after a lung busting run down the right?

I've always remembered that game for one reason.

Exeter were playing towards the North Stand and we were behind the goal. Somebody kicked the ball absolutely vertically from well inside the 6yd box. It disappeared from view behind the overhang of the roof. It was gone for so long you could hear birdsong in Hove Park. Buses drifted down the Old Shoreham Road.

It was certain that our defence could be in almighty trouble when gravity eventually took effect.

It was scrambled away fortunately but ever since then balls of this kind (one led to a goal at Dagenham) have been known in our house as 'Exeter balls'. Tense times indeed.

Peter Smith - most ungainly footballer ever

Oh so true But it makes these good times seem so much sweeter, does it not ?

I remember it was Baird scoring, close-range header quite early on and then we held on for the win

I didn't realise it was my last Goldstone game until I'd walked home through Hove Park and then it dawned on me. Regret not taking the time to have a last look around
