Ditto

Guess it's not a reference to a drinking game and surely not a slur on any particular footballer. Having said that it used to be common to run a pub after retiring.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Not the Bournemouth game.

 

[exhertsimp]

Fulham 5 Lincoln 4? Certainly punch drunk after this.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Fulham 5 Lincoln 4? Certainly punch drunk after this.

Not that game.

Couldn't offer a game, but did we ever scramble home by an odd goal against a team who finished with 8 men?

What about City's 5-4 win aginst Northampton in 1977 ?

 

[Billy the Imp]

City 8 Luton 1?

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Neither the 5-4 against Northampton nor the 8-1 v Luton.

There's been at least one other game with nine goals in it during my time (which goes back quite a long way) which hasn't been mentioned yet.

Ok what about Lincoln 4 York 5 in 1971.

 

[Chesterimp]

Ok what about Lincoln 4 York 5 in 1971.

Beat me to it.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Yes, it was the 4-5 home defeat to York in April 1971. The headline, I think, was in the Sunday People.
