History was made on 4 November 1982, the like we'll never see again. Sutton United 11 Leatherhead 1.
I was sat in one of the old wooden stands on the Rec side of the ground with my mum on a Tuesday night watching Joycey score 9 goals (John Rains got the other 2). An amazing achievement.
I looked in all the newspapers the next day and most had the score with Joyce 9 in brackets.
Of course Micky never tells anyone about it.

Just a little bit before my time (where I wish it wasn't)
Didn't John Rains get booed after scoring his first goal (which was something like Sutton's 6th?)?

Mick scored the first 7. JR did indeed get booed when he grabbed the eighth.
I think Tanners’ full back is still dizzy, Able had him in such a spin.

Assuming Abel was in his customary right flank role, that full back was the late Paul Estall.

I must track him down tomorrow ...

Apparently it was 16 November 1982 so I was a bit premature. The club historian didn't spot the error though!

Cos I walk around with the date of every match we have ever played in my head.
If I did, I would be in therapy by now.

If it wasn't the only home game I missed that season (I was ill in bed!) it was very close to it.....
