On this day 1983

[89spartans_12/03/77]

The big one... at least that season. An amazing day out from start to finish.
Just missed the train to Sheffield trying to convince a couple of waverers in the booking hall at central and ended up going in Kovs Van.
Lincoln completed an amazing double over the giants of Bramhall Lane. With a 1-0 win.
During the game Kov (RIP) was hit by a missile. Oldguard bravely jumped over the wall and offered to go with Kov to the hospital.
‘Take my place in the van’ says I. ‘ have you got a train ticket’?
Don’t know how I’d have got home.
Cheers Oldguard.

Went to that one with my dad. We were in the new south stand. Didn’t know it had been a cricket ground as well. Think Cockerill got the goal that day. A winning end to a heartbreaking season. What could that team have achieved if Murph had been backed? We’ll never know but the what a team that was second half of 81/82 and up to Christmas 82/83.

Back to our best for the last 2 games, unfortunately a couple of weeks too late.
