As fever mounts over our progress in this particular competition – and who we might draw next – my mind goes back to when we met Nottingham Forest in this same competition back on 4th September 1969. We lost 1-2 to a last minute goal at the Holker Street end by Ian Storey-Moore (double-barrelled surnames were almost unheard of back then but how things have changed . . . )HenneysKnee wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 11:11 pm Really hope we get the Man United or Liverpool away draw that the board deserves.
Yes, we did. Seem to recall it was played on August Bank Holiday Monday. A lively night at Holker Street.
The game v Forest saw one of the best punch ups ever seen at HS. Mulvaney v Chapman if I recall correctly. Both saw red. Terry Hennessy remember as one of the dirtiest players ever to appear on the hallowed turf. Game was brutal.pjdaly wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 10:12 amAs fever mounts over our progress in this particular competition – and who we might draw next – my mind goes back to when we met Nottingham Forest in this same competition back on 4th September 1969.

In the next round Forest were drawn at home to West Ham. Given that top teams tended to put out their strongest sides back in those days we have to rue the possibility that we narrowly missed out on entertaining The Hammers at Holker Street, and their 1966 World Cup trio of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. The online records show that Forest beat West Ham 1-0 on 23rd September 1969 and yes, the famous trio did all play. That would have been something if it had been against us at Holker Street . . . . .
Was at that game we were very unlucky.Suffolk Blue wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 11:59 amThe game v Forest saw one of the best punch ups ever seen at HS. Mulvaney v Chapman if I recall correctly.

It was in August 1971 and we lost 0-2 - our last EFL Cup match before losing our League status. It was a midweek match - in those days August Bank Holidays had a full League programme (in which we lost 4-0 at Brentford).Cubbins Paratrooper wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 11:17 amYes, we did.

Mulvaney (and Chapman as well I presume) got quite a long ban for that. Something like 6 weeks IIRC.Suffolk Blue wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 11:59 am

If I remember correctly Mulvaney got eight weeks which was reduced to six on appeal.xerxes wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 2:53 pmMulvaney (and Chapman as well I presume) got quite a long ban for that. Something like 6 weeks IIRC.Suffolk Blue wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2024 11:59 am

As I said, a proper fist fight it was.
