Birmingham City November 1981. 1-0 Robbie James. Unusual 18:30 kick off for that time. All whites were playing Australia at St Helen's in the afternoon. I would have gone to the Sunderland game two weeks earlier but had bronchitis (I was diagnosed with asthma soon after). Main recollection was loads of stick for Archie Gemmill. Went to Forest a few weeks later and was thoroughly disgusted by Neil Robinson giving away a pen. I did at least get to apologise before Robbo passed away at the "Tosh" screening in Liverpool.
