Remember seeing the Holy Trinity, Best, Law and Charlton when we hammered them 6-3.:What a night!
Me and my mate arrived at the usual time to see the 6-3. The Brummie was full and closed so we raced around to the Smethwick end. Got in but that too was packed. Walked down one the gangways (or whatever they were called) and somehow managed to squeeze our way in. Glorious times back then.
