    I'm sure like many on here, I was crammed into the North Bank that day and went absolutely mental as the ball hit the net!

    Oh and another thing today, courtesy of BBC Website....

    Paul Parker (football) 53 - Former Manchester United and England defender, born 1964.

    This really p1sses me off, he played more games for both Fulham and us than Utd, but oh no they have to mention that he was a Man Utd player as if they are the only team any one has ever heard off......gggggrrrrrrr

    A fine player.......

    On this day 50 years ago a 100/1 outsider named Foinavon won the most famous Grand National of all when virtually the whole field fell or pulled up at the 23rd fence. Only Foinavon, who was so far behind he had time to plot his way through the mayhem cleared the fence and he held on over the final seven fences to claim the most unlikely victory...
