I was at this game. First as a season ticket holder. I saved up for the ticket by forgoing my lunch money for 2 months. £16 got me 21 games standing on the Holte.
I remember Jimmy Sirrel being interviewed after the game. He said he was pleased with the result because as a nee season starts you always look to score your first goal, keep a clean sheet, and get an away victory.... and we got all three on the first day.
I was in the away end, aged 14. To see Notts playing in the top flight was enough. To beat the reigning champions in their own back yard - after they’d just paraded the trophy before the match...? We were in dream land! 👍
Tomorrow (02/08/2020) the pies play in theb final of the non-league play offs. I'll be watching' like I was for this match. We've had many ups (and more downs) bur we're on the way again! COYP's!
Hey thanks for posting. Must've been painful, but I think you beat us 6-0 or something similarly bad in a cup a few weeks later. PS Hugh Johns commentary? "Star Soccer"??

The celebration by McCulloch was used by Swedish public channel SVT for the opening titles of their Saturday show "Tipsextra" during 83 and 84.

Jimmy Sirrel - legend.
