I was on my way out of the Milton about halfway up when the whole end shouted shoot. Next thing I know the whole end was just a mass of bodies jumping and screaming as we tried to get back down to the front. Didn't even realise it was Horne who got the equaliser until the end of the game. Great memories

In terms importance of game, last minute timing, and quality of finish this might only be second to MLT’s last goal at The Dell?

Watched it from the East Stand - the ball seemed to be ‘radio controlled’. 
 

Great commentary too - the ball is already half way towards the goal before he starts saying “is there one hope left…”.

I’d forgotten it was Branford era. 

The Dell was fooking great!

Fucking brilliant. Before football got quite shite.

It has everything doesn't it 

Cup night drama under the lights

The Dell at its best packed out, great following midweek from Bolton

Classic commentary,  can't remember his name but very familiar

Top admiral kit

On the pitch bounce around goal celebrating from the lower West

Should have bloody beaten Norwich in the quarters we still owe them for that

Think the commentator was Barry Davis, back in the days when commentators actually knew what they were talking about, rather than just sucking up to the likes of Klopp and co.

Yep, miss midweek matches at the Dell.

I was at the Bolton game but was young. All I remember is being utterly shocked and amazed when that ball flew past the keeper!

That’s little old me in the centre of the goal giving it star jumps. That was the last kick of the game and that ball moved up, down, left and right.

It moves around like a Jimmy Anderson scrambled seam delivery on a firm green top in overcast conditions 11.10am with a new ball. Footballs behave more like that now but not 30 plus years ago they didn’t.
