Always thought BDM was the biggest gate, I had been in at Hillsborough.  Do you know the actual attendance?

 

I was at the Swansea game as well, a few hardy souls stuck it out on the Kop, despite being told they could go into the seats.  Must have been the Arctic Supporters Club.

Pretty sure attendence was 49,357

I was on the Kop,4 of us. The atmosphere was brilliant as was the replay at Anfield. Dodgy penalty when I think Rush dived and did 3 somersaults.

Was only a kid but distinctly remember in the replay we missed an open goal in the 1st minute. For the next 89 minutes they pinged that’s Tango ball around and we never got a kick.

I didn't realise they were so close either but my feet haven't defrosted from the Swansea game yet. 

We had a fantastic team spirit back then with a fair deal of ability too.

I was absolutely covered in snow at the Swans game as we chanted "Bert McGhee, give us a roof"

 

Bloody worth it though as we thrashed em 6-0 or 6-1

 

 

I'd put my house on the early missed chance at Anfield being Varadi.

I was bang behind the goal and the ball for played across goal and all he had to do was side foot it in but it went between his legs.

 

The home game was amazing but nights and occasional crowds like that seemed normality back then. 

Really miss those days. 

It was Varadi.
