Watching the Oldham game in the Pavilion End pub in the City

They're ten a penny now, but that was a rare pub in those days that focused on big screen sport. I was the only bloke really watching the game (hardly surprising!) and when Robins trickled in the winner I went ballistic, much to the chagrin of the other punters who were basically in there for a quiet Monday night pint!

Loved Villa away as well - we took thousands and had bits of two stands on thr day...
