I was there too, an unbelievable few minutes, we went crazy after the 3rd save.

Yes you’re right it we did start season with 5 straight wins - it ended at York, I can remember it really well, it was the game after York’s David Longhurst had died on the pitch and there was a bucket collection on the terraces, so it was right to get beat that day as it was so poignant and put things into perspective - it shook the whole of football he was only 25 years old

He had a habit of wandering outside his six yard box. An old lad who used to sit near us in the old main stand at BV spent a large part of every game bellowing gerron your line Crichton. Happy days!

He wouldn't have liked Kim Book either then!! His behaviour when t'ball was up t'other end was really quite singular. Never seen it's like before or since.

Yes it was. Didn't he die whilst playing against Halifax?
I remember they named the home end the David Longhurst stand not long after.

Remember having beer in the Cemetery pub with Ginner, Ken Magson & Jacko pre match

Us Dearne Valley Mini Bus lads just got back in time before the local scroats were letting down our tyres with matches-got to a petrol station with about 17 pounds pressure in all tyres. Didn't stop our enjoyment- 30 years Jesus....

Was at York when that run ended, I seem to remember the tall lad Holmes was it at centre half getting injured  before the York game & upsetting the defensive partnership, sure Billy played with 3 centre halves at the start of that season.
