That was surely one of our best goals of that season. I think this was around the time I drank Tony Dennis' tea. I remember waiting to get some players' autographs and Tony turned up and asked me to hold his drink whilst he signed my programme. He then said I could have the tea as it wasn't very nice. I seem to remember that I took a sip and then chucked it away. :) 9:56 Yep, we'd picked up just 5 points from our previous 7 home games. We had this reputation for making The Abbey a fortress and there were all those stories about John Beck putting extra sugar in the opposition's drinks to slow them down, giving them faulty balls to warm up with, turning the heating in their dressing room up full blast and telling the groundsman to grow the grass long in the corners to give us an advantage but actually, our home record wasn't great for a team looking for promotion. We won just 8 of our first 20 home games, 10 out of 23 overall.
