  • Thanks again. Can you tell me who (and when) we played with Malcomn Dalrymple (sp?) in goal around that time? I remember being 3 up at half time and then it ending 3-3.

  • It was in Oct 1971 when Malcolm Dalrymple signed for Rovers (I was 11 so cannot even recall him) but he made 8 first team appearances before joining Watford in 1973. We had 2 3-3 draws in 1973 both at home, the first in Feb Oldham and the second was Charlton in April.

  • Thanks for the infos OldEs!

    I was at the 2-1 at Old Trafford too! I still have the programm somehwere!

    Was our awful 4-0 thrashing at Wolves the next cup game? I was also there. I'm getting forgetful in my old age!

  • Yes the Wolves game was next. Thankfully my dad or brother couldn't make that one so I couldn't go either. It was still a bit of a shock though to lose 4-0 after the Man Utd game. I know Utd were on the slide then but I (in my youth) thought we were unbeatable after that, how could Wolves beat us?

  • What was this cup competition? I think its such a shame to see these old stadiums, full of fans, that the clubs had to leave. Am I right in thinking Bristol Rovers are getting a new, redeveloped ground soon?

  • It was the Watney Cup and was played between the two top scoring teams from each division that were not promoted.

  • Doesnt the Bristol Rovers player at 1.32 look like that vicar who did that show on bbc 2 about various religions a while ago (How obscure is that ) I know I need to get out more. Sad bitch that I am !!!

  • I remember Tom McAlister playing for West Ham and he was great! His double save in a game against Soton was brilliant. We had two really great keepers that year!.

  • we have obviosly never been good at pens :(

  • if anybodys got anymore films of this team in particular and up to about 1975 i would love to see them.

  • As opposed to City's full trophy cabinet,full of......?

    No,can't remember what you've won either.

  • Sad old Gas, celebrating a two bit cup win. UP THE CITY!

  • Brings back memories seeing the Tote End again. First time that i have seen the ground before it was burnt down. Bloody Ikea store! we had many a punch up outside that old ground. I loved going dog racing there, only to visit and re-live memories.
