I forget losses about a day after they've occurred...

The enduring memory of this one was Gary McAllister trying to disappear into his coat . Bad bad day........as we're the other two and Crawley . Bristol City in 70's also springs to mind .

Early round cup exits are meaningless and soon forgotten.
But losing to Sunderland in the 73 final was heartbreaking and will haunt me to the grave.
Totally ruined that Saturday night at the Mecca, Bradford!

Crawley (pathetic)
Histon
Colchester
Stoke (7-2) 1986
Ken Bates - defeatist mentality in allowing the piece of scum to reign at the club for so long.
