2 of my favourite games v Forest was League Cup. Home game 3-3, away game was great, think Parsley scored but may be wrong. Parsley ? Ken O' Docherty scored at their place, Maskell 2 and, somehow, Cecere at home No idea where I got Parsley from ๐๐ Another game that sticks in my head around that time was v Sunderland at Roker Park, cup game, did Parsley score at that game or do I just have a thing for Parsley ๐๐

Five live sport did commentary on the 3-3 home game with Mike Ingham, Alan Green and Dennis Law and for some reason I recorded the whole second half and most of extra time!!! Just turned my house upside down to find the old cassette after nearly 30 years and it's still a good listen!

2 of my favourite games v Forest was League Cup. Home game 3-3, away game was great, think Parsley scored but may be wrong.ย A few years before Neil Parsley that..off the top of my head Ken O'Docherty scored down there in the 1-1. Second leg Maskell (2) and Mike Cecere (!) I think scored in the 3-3 at Leeds Road The away end that day at forest was electric we were stuck in a corner terrace but it seemed bloody huge, I remember being swept off my feet when we scored I must of moved 20 yards by the time my feet touched the ground. Even though it was a little woods cup game it felt like a huge result at the time. They had some top class players in their team at the time.

Just turned my house upside down to find the old cassette after nearly 30 years and it's still a good listen! I was a young Cpl in the Air Force posted to Belize and working in the Bomb Dump. Came back to the office to hear Town on the radio on World Service. Didnโt leave the office for 90 minutes - had paperwork to do!

I was couldnโt get a ticket for the Town end, I was a young JT at North Luffenham and a mate who was a Cpl was a Forest fan and got me a ticket in the open end. I thought I was going to get a right kicking when we scored as I couldnโt contain my excitement, similarly when they got there equaliser, I was well hacked off, shouting and swearing. The journey back was very quiet

Not sure that was the same year but we had a few decent cup games back then.

The saddest thing is no one cares about cups anymore. Most clubs attendances were higher than average and there was always big away followings. Even the league cup was an event, I remember a 0 0 at Stoke early 80s Town took loads midweek. A pox on the twats that have deliberately undermined and ruined cup football.

I canโt remember my own phone number but I can remember Timmy Mallet being half time guest when Town played Bristol Rovers at Bathโs ground, Twerton Park maybe? I also always remember being at the front of the terrace when Town played either Kettering or Altrincham away in the cup (not the Worthington red card game, before that) when Town scored dozens of us ended up over the advertising boards and on the pitch due to the surge. One of the stewards ushered me back to the terrace, he was called Terry. I have no idea why I remember his name badge. I miss the surge.

I think scored in the 3-3 at Leeds Road I can remember Maskell's goals , and I am pretty sure one was a free kick, as for Cecere's its a total blank. Great game though, and sad we went out on the away goals rule , or am I just imagining that?

Exactly - a shame that Spurs got to the CL final after Pochettino described cups as being for ego's. But of course he'll claim the CL is a League and not a cup no doubt?

Itll all come out in the wash when he fooks off mind

Altrincham (posh suberb) of Manchester) in the cup was I believe our first live satellite TV game, it was the small rival to sky who used "squareial" dishes - first round tie, around 1990 a 2-1 win, Accrington (poor suberb of Blackburn) was also a live TV game when Worthington got a comedy red card for having a shot at goal . Addition Sorry Porrohman just seen your post pointing this out.

I remember an F A Cup replay against Stoke around 1970 at home midweek under lights. Think that was 0-0 and 35-40,000 turned up. Leeds Rd was rocking in that era.

Over 40,000 and not the biggest of the season either. Before my time but I think it went to a second replay on neutral ground (Old Trafford) can you imagine the attendance at an FA cup second replay on neutral ground now?

I went to the Altrincham game and a friend of mine who had BSB recorded the game for me on VHS. I've still got the tape and just had a quick flick through it,spotted myself and not a grey hair in sight unlike now !!!!
