FA Cup Third Round Memories

Being an old fart and at the game.

Then Arsenal at home record attendance at the Vetch

I was a ten year old at that Arsenal game on the sleeper bank, right at the front behind the goal, up against the railings (still got two furrows down my forehead ). Remember Keith Todd being pushed in the back in the box by Ure as he was about to shoot, ref not interested.
A note for all the youngsters reading this, the attendance was 32,796!

2 of my favourite games ,

Swans nil nil with Liverpool .
Lee Bracey in goal what a performance by our young keeper .
Liverpool with their best side couldn't score .
Went to watch the replay lost 8 nil (or 8 - 1 )

Swans 3 West Brom 2
Brilliant game Sean Mccarthy & Andy Melville scored .
Can remember Keri Andrews going on a couple of maisey runs .

Oddly I went looking for that West Brom game but couldn’t find any coverage of it, remember it well - cracking game of football

I think we went out to Hull in the next round and Frankie Bunn broke Dudley Lewis leg

And an exWales manager scoring the only goal.

I'm sure we'd get the same attendance with an extra 12,000 seats at the dot com.

The Sheff Utd game stands out for me, such a great away day.

The West Ham game, I remember we were out on the lash on the Kingsway the night before tickets for the home game went on sale, and after the clubs closed, we walked straight over to join the queue for tickets.

Being an old fart , I can go back to Doncaster away , 68 , it was in those days a weekend bus journey, and of course the infamous Leeds away in 70.

I was behind the goal at Leeds that day. We woz robbed.

I was going to mention being at the Arsenal 32,700 game at the Vetch ( sardines ain't in it on the North Bank )..but then I double- checked and it was the fourth round

Still, an experience never to be forgotten
