V Swansea 1983-84

[jim hamilton]

As we are playing Swansea today it got me thinking about the last time we played them 83-84,think we played them twice over the period of a week as they were suffering money problems,3-1 at the Vetch & 6-1 at the Bridge,canners got a hat-trick,have a feeling there was a dispute over his third as it didint seem to go all over the line but given anyway...I also got my Prog signed by most of the team that evening,as ever during the warm up they use to come over to the benches to sign stuff....great days,my most enjoyable season following Chelsea.

Cheers for reading

Dixon and wee pat scored too, who was it that got the other? John Bumstead?

Hi MM, It was indeed John Bumstead

Cheers

Cheers Jim. It was before my time mate, but I read a report on it a couple of weeks ago. Then i got up an hour early to find a dodgy stream, after being out for Oktoberfest last night....so the old grey matter was a little fuzzy
