And the smell of wintergreen
Alan spavin
I was there too.... 1t and only time I stood under the Pavilion stand, it was so full.
Unlucky to lose (I think) - though at least we beat them in the FA Cup in the mid 60's !!! Greaves's team
Dont recall the WBA game
I think there's an ointment you can rub in that makes it grow back.
Think it was a draw at Deepdale before losing the replay 2-0 possibly after extra time.
Edit - I think I Might be in the wrong time zone.
November 1971..... City won 3-2 in front of a crowd of 14,000

I'd have to dig out the programme but was it 0-1 with a young Asa Hartford scoring?
We played WBA in league Cup 3rd round in 1980/81 season lost 1-2 in a second replay at The Hawthorns after drawing 0-0 in the 1st game at The Hawthorns, then 1-1 back at Deepdale.
I think they scored the winner in the 2nd replay in virtually the last minute, I think the game had gone to extra time, West Brom had a top side in those days. 👍

I am very familiar with all but one of the PNE Players here with Brucie being one of my all time favs but i am struggling to place David Carrick.
In fact not only do i not remember him but i don't think i've ever heard of him before in PNE terms. Some reet good Players on view in that match!!

He certainly died at a young age, only 42 🙁
I went to all three matches as a fresh-faced 19 year old. From memory, they tossed a coin to decide where the third match would be. North End gave an excellent account of themselves against a team going well in Division 1 under Big Ron.
My boss drove us to both away games and my abiding memory is of him going crackers on the way home when we stopped at a chippy in Stafford. We got him steak pie, chips and loads of gravy but no fork to eat it with! Happy days.
Cheers Ando - I was 9 and set up for a life of football disappointment

David Carrick played a couple of games for us in the 1973/74 relegation season, under Bobby Charlton. I'm pretty sure that it was playing an unregistered player, Carrick, that resulted in PNE being docked a couple of points. Fortunately, the deducted points didn't cost us, as we ended the season a few points adrift from safety.
Cheers for that, don't remember us being docked points either!!!
