Yep, we won that one as well !
...great day that travelled up on the Friday stayed in Malverns on the way and then we came away 1-0 winners with a Brooks strike (pity we haven’t got his namesake playing!)
81/82 div 4 when managed by ex Chelsea player Dave Webb
Trevor Morgan sent off early.
0-0 draw in our promotion season. First time we had played a "big" club for years.
The way that game was officiated and reported in the media absolutely made my blood boil at the time ! Worst case of "bandwagonism" I'd seen in a very long time. Awful !Probably one of the most unfair matches I've ever seen; even the commentators were getting in on the action, preemptively accusing us of diving multiple times with righteous anger in their voices...only to mumble "looks like he got clipped there" a few moments later like the hacks they are.
Even more galling looking back with hindsight, given how they've treated Nantes in the wake of Sala's death. "One of our own...when it's convenient".
How he passes the stringent referee fitness tests, I'll never know. He looks more like a darts player than a top flight official.
Always liked David Webb, a true professional player who could play anywhere on the pitch.
