Last time probably Newcastle cup replay during the miners strike so no floodlights allowed. 1973 I think. Got disciplined by British Steel for skipping college that afternoon.
January 30th 1974
We had drawn 1-1 up at Newcastle on Saturday the 26th, Nolan Keeley scored for the Iron and Terry McDermott equalised for them. Highlight of the day was Chris Simpkin sitting Malcolm McDonald on his arse after a couple of minutes and getting right in his face with some verbals whilst McDonald lay prostrate on the floor. Never got another kick all game McDonald but scored two in the replay when for some reason Simpkin never went near him. Always thought there was some kind of stitch up there but anyhow that’s football sometimes.
