Nope, I wouldn't have got married on a home game against West Ham. I think it might be Cardiff away. On my way home and forgot to get the wife a card. haven;t fixed up to go out because football is on the box. Thought if I could recall how we did that day all those years ago she might be so impressed she would overlook everything............................
For 31 years I have proudly boasted that I waited for the fixtures to come out before booking the wedding so I didn't miss a home game. I was convinced we won 0-2 at Cardiff. Just shows you I must have done what I was told. I remember an away game at Cardiff where we won 0-4 or 1-4 with Horfield getting a couple. Anyone shed any light on that.
4th November 1978. Won 4-1 Away. Arthur Horsfield was not in the squad, but Terry Brisley got 2, Madden and Robinson the others. Jeff Wood saved a penalty after Les Berry had handled.
