Oggy, that happened once in the first match I took the future (¤t) Mrs M to, V. Sheffield United, March 1969. A tame Alan Woodward shot but Charlie had so much time it just rolled on through and put the Blades one up. Fortunately Matt Tees and Ray Crawford put things right in the 2nd half and Mrs M thoroughly enjoyed herself' (until the journey home: but that's another story!).
Did you see the first one, home to Ipswich Town, lost 0-1, March 1968 .....?
"Sir Charlie Wright, Sir Charlie Wright, Charlie ......."
Mr 51 (or may I call you March) - the direct replacement for the 696, and running still, was bus 96.
And regarding the Ipswich game, I don't remember Crawford playing, but I do recall that the visitors won with a most un-Ipswich-like violence mainly due to a thug called Derek Jefferson.(I think.)
[cite]Posted By: March51[/cite]I must have seen it Oggy but can't remember it I'm afraid. Would Ray Crawford have been playing for Ipswich in that game?
Undoubtedly, Mr March.
I've still got our Ipswich match programme, complete with Football League Review, somewhere in a trunk in the loft.
A voice in my head(!!) tells me that Ipswich winning goal was scored by their winger Danny, Danny .....someone??
GHF, quite right about the 696/96, I had an old-timers' moment and got it the wrong way round: the 698 didn't have a direct replacement but the 229 (Orpington-B'heath) was extended to Woolwich via Abbey Wood to cover it. Glad someone's on the ball around here!

I take it you were there that day, seeing Sir Charlie crouching down but looking sheepishly over his shoulder ....?
Is that the one he let through his legs?
I do remember seeing that happen but can't remember the oppo at the moment.
