They targeted John Connerley from the start - I was in the paddock right near that high tackle i head a snapping noise & the anguish on John's face - the crowd lunged forward swearing at the player, me included - I dont think he got booked? - Stretcher came on I knew it was so serious - we clapped Altrincham on - they got booed off, Gary Jones foolishly got sent off too - plus their goal was about two yards offside we saved it with a late penalty for a replay at Old Trafford - which we won 2-0 ......

There are highlights of the game here



If I remember rightly we hadn't won for a few games and had been knocked out of the League Cup by Notts County. Latchford hadn't scored for ages and had been dropped for a couple of games. The third Ipswich goal is a comedy classic and we were booed off after squandering a 3-1 lead with only minutes to go.
