@owlstalk Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Thirty-nine years ago on the 16th February, Chesterfield came back from Hillsborough with a point after Geoff Salmons drove in a late, late goal to make the scores three-all. The photo from the lens of Alan Roe shows Alan Crawford netting our second goal. The drama continued after the final whistle in the players' tunnel, when Bill Green reportedly gripped Terry Curran by the throat to offer his observations on the day's events. Anyone go to this one?

Yes, heartbreaking for a 12y old. Especially as my Grandad was a spireite and didn't stop crowing all the way back. I'm sure Ernie Moss played a big game for them aswell. Although we had the last laugh didn't we that season with promotion ? And didn't we also give the Millers a good towelling the week after the Chessie game. Great days, thanks for the reminder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yep. Don't remember it. But didn't miss a home game from 1976 til 1995. So must have been there. Probably on the Lepp. Nawty in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1948 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I must have been there I had a season ticket at the time. It must have been rubbish and instantly forgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezzie fans grumbled that if it had been 3 points for a win that season they'd have gone up instead of us. But it wasn't, so tough luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway for Chezzie to go up now they'd need 48 points for a win and nobody else to get anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolsterstone Owl Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yep. Can remember it very clearly that game. On South about 25 yards from where I sit now. Ernie Moss was on fire for them all game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I was there and was only talking about this the other day. They scored late on from a corner at the Kop end which wasn't a corner - it came off Rodney Fern last as he tried to get a shot in. He probably deserved it though as the whole kop spent the entire game singing "you just a bald headed b**tard" every time he got the ball As alluded to, wasn't the next game the one where we hammered toytown 5:0 with an Andy McCulloch hat trick??

legendaryswan Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I was at this game,we took a manure fan with us in the North Stand as I was majority of that season. Hell of a game this,the ref played loads of injury time,Ernie Moss terrorised us,but that late corner was the killer,it should have been a goalkick,the ref was garbage and the equaliser sparked chaos with cushions from the North and and agro on the Lepp as the Owls fans broke through the police lines and vented their frustrations on the visiting fans The game also marked the end of Owls favorite Roger Wyldes Wednesday Career as it was his last game in an Owls shirt and wed thought hed got the winner.The following week we bashed rovrum 5-0 at S6.

Bramhall Owl Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yep, I thought the very late equaliser was going to cost us dear, but then we went on a long unbeaten run with Rovrum copping a good hiding the following week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't sing that song anymore as there are too many bald players by design! The loudest I can remember was when Coventry knocked us out of the cup in the quarter final. Left back (Burrows?) was prematurely bald and about 40,000 Owls serenaded him with that every time he went near the ball. Sadly, it didn't seem to put him off his game!
