It was a phenomenal result at the time and in a context that will never be repeated. It was my first ever away game. Over 54,000 there too & we weee on a special train from Roth.
We had a very good side then and only a little bit of tweaking needed to perhaps be knocking on the door to the top division. But for one fleeting season in 1981/82 we haven?t come as close since, but in the early to mid sixties, we were an established level 2 side. Somehow it went a bit downhill from there, so this has to be my finest hour following the Millers.
