Dugdale,Slogger(can anyone spell Sleeuwenhoek?) Evans,Mcnaught, Ugo, Southgate, Lauren,Mellberg, and maybe Mings and Konza will,one day, be seen as worthy of belonging to that impressive list. Macca,imagine if he'd played fully fit.Loved it when we were losing how Macca would get angry, dribbling up the pitch, shaking his fist with the Holte roaring. Apologies to Laursen,not Lauren.
Ps,how could l forget Chris Nichol
Howard Kendall and Alex Dawson featured for Preston who had lost narrowly to the Hammers the previous season in the final. We played surprisingly well and Daves goal was a cracker, a Volley from out wide. Next round,we were at Anfield. It was my first visit as they were a second division outfit for the most,post war. We were so disappointed with the Kop,not a patch on the Holte. We played well enough, hitting the bar and Alan Deakin missing a sitter. Ian StJohn netted a late winner from what looked well offside. We were on the wane as a club but Liverpool ,with an ambitious, clued up board, were on the up.
I nearly referred to the disappointment which followed in the 4th round. We got beat at Anfield 4 nil the week before, but played well and were unlucky in my young eyes to then lose to that St John goal in the cup. e I lost my 'haversack' on the train home, including my programme. I have bought a programme and still have hundreds now from every match I've been to, and that lost Liverpool programme remains a hole in my collection!
WITTONITE, Villan 58 and Mcparland were there but tbf were mere nippers.
