But 49 years ago today, this happened Arguably the match that put Sutton on the national football map for the first time (aside from the 63 Amateur Cup final of course)

Stood on the railway sleepers Collinwood Road end, after queuing for four hours to get ticket on the previous Sunday.

A game both memorable and one some may want to forget at the same time. I was there, and for 15 minutes we had hope...and then this happened.

Scary to think how long ago it was though.

I can see why they invented center backs now

Hi Arjan,

I've forwarded your email address to Dave Farebrother who I'm sure will be in touch with more details.

Cheers

scorpioeyes: I predicted a relegation struggle with a totally inexperienced manager. Hope I am wrong, but it doesn't look like it. MG is out of his depth,that's obvious. Sept 3, 2019 22:59:54 GMT

ggl: So are we now saying we have a manager who is not in favour of bringing in loan players and if the board decided to part company with him they cannot afford to do so ? Oct 23, 2019 8:21:42 GMT

historyboy: Sad to hear of the passing of Eddie Cack, I remember him well. I think that the said photograph publishsed by the club, of him sitting next to Dave Hermitage, isn't him at all; I think the picture shows Micky Goodall. Compare other pictures of both. Oct 24, 2019 17:27:34 GMT
