Shades of Keith Miller back in the day.

Yes, I remember that too. The ball was in Kieron Baker's arms and Keith went over and touched his arm as if to say 'calm it down'. The ref gave a penalty for handball. I'm pretty sure we were leading 1-0 with not many minutes left. I'm pretty sure it was at the Brighton Beach end and the penalty didn't go in? I'll have to try to find which game it was. I'm guessing 1975/76 season, but could be way off?!

My memory of it had Micky Cave touching the ball, it was at the South End and they scored. I’ve been wrong before mind…
