30 Years ago today

[Turkish]

Saints centenary game v champions Everton. It was my first game and like so others in the 30 years since would end in defeat. I remember the match reasonably well. We lost 2-3 after Glen Cockerill gave us an early lead, Gary Linekar levelling to send the teams in level before Everton taking control. A goal from Steve Moran, who was my hero at the time, right in front of me at in Milton Road end got us back into the game but we couldn't find an equaliser.

 

It was a special day, 100 young fans chosen to be mascots from 10 schools, sadly I wasn't one of them. I also remember reading in the match day programme a fictional story about the next 100 years when Saints would be playing in a European Super league in a 50,000 all seater stadium. As deluded back then as they are now it seems.

 

Anyone have an pictures from the day? Fitz, I'm looking at you
