Great stadium is Anfield. I'd love to watch Rovers there.

It was when the FA Cup WAS the best in the world. There were 20 or so of us clustered round a Radio in the works Canteen on a Monday as the draw always wasLiverpool will play (imagine sound of Balls being rattled) Number whatever it was Doncaster Rovers. The place e-x-p-l-o-d-e-d and I am not kidding. Top of League v Top of Division 4 and the rest is history. Massive crowd - massive Rovers following taking all one end and a 2-0 loss but by god what a day73/4 was for me just as good. Top of league v bottom of 4th Division (in African Violet) who despite what I read on here now and again had only a small following in the back of the main stand. Totally different feeling to 68/9 but you will now of course that Donny players scored all 4 goals (Keegan 2 for them)Peter Kitchen hit the bar with a lob with virtually the last kick of the game and so the biggest Cup shock EVER imo was avoided. Both great days for different reasons
