Pretty sure Dai Gwyther scored a first half hattrick for Rotherham that night.

The late Huddersfield manager Peter Jackson going radio rental after we beat them at the Vetch accusing Trundle of disrespecting his players by doing the neck roll.

Peter Jackson is Still with us.

Yes he did. Four days later we came back from 1-3 against Tranmere to win 4-3. Hell of a week.

And Wyndham, I think, missed a sitter in the last minute which would have won the game 5-4.

But... 49 years ago!!!!

Not 25 years but nearer maybe 55 years.
Can't remember the game but the Vetch pitch had been covered with straw.
It was cleared and put behind the North Bank and during the game it was on fire and smoke drifted up towards the pitch
Luckily it was quickly.put out so the game didn't stop.

Another time when part of the main stand caught fire and had to be demolished.

I will probably see Wyndham in the pub on Friday afternoon, I will remind him of this game.
