I won a £5 postal order (remember them?) for requesting his picture he published in either Shoot or Roy of the Rovers comic (can’t recall which one now), I was gutted that it was a black and white picture and not colour. Wish I’d kept it but never thought to.
I remember in one programme Q&A he put the 7 0 defeat against Brighton as his most memorable match.
It stuck in my mind too. 5-0 down at half time and the police wouldn’t let me leave.
It's one of my most memorable games too. To think we were unbeaten in 7 going into that game! Didn't stop me from going to Newcastle the following week though, where we were infinitely better and only lost 1-2 to a couple of late Keegan headers.
Always sticks in my mind. It was my 30th birthday that day. Some day out though!
It was mine and my mates 18th that weekend, party on the Friday night then off to Brighton on the Saturday morning.....can't really remember much about the game but like Burnley away (7-1 defeat) won't ever forget the score.

7 down on the hour mark and was thinking this will be double figures.
Think we nearly scored late in the game which would have been the highlight.
