Gone down in folklore that trip.

As has the PNE fan “ shagging “ a stolen C&A mannequin in Peterborough town centre.

I have no news on the mannequin sadly.

I was at Peterborough as well… the market stalls never stood a chance, the minute that the 500 unescorted Nobbers were let loose on Peterborough town centre.
 
Cold blow lane - Milwall and the season we got relegated from old DIv 1 - wasn’t that the game the referee awarded Milwall an outrageous penalty and Alan Ball senior remonstrated with the officials?

Back in the 70's former PNE winger Derek Temple scored the Winning FA Cup goal against ( who else but) Manchester City.

Oh that Temple goal against Nottingham Forest - I can still see it. A drop-kick upfield by Alan Kelly towards Willie Irvine and Gerry Ingram in the centre circle, one of their defenders heads it back towards our goals but only only as far as the edge of the centre circle in our half where Temple collects it and starts to run forward towards the halfway line, Irvine and Ingram each run at an angle left and and right so that the Forest defence opens up in front of Temple, he suddenly accelerates and in a flash it seems by the time he reaches the other edge of the centre circle in their half is beyond the defenders who are left trailing behind him, he runs on to just a few yards outside the Town End penalty area, the Forest keeper has come out to narrow the angle, but not quite enough there is still just the space for Temple to shoot hard and low past the keeper's right foot and just inside the post. Utter delirium - what a goal. After the utter dross we have suffered - or at least I have - in the FA Cup in recent years you live on memories like that. Perhaps we will see something like that again.

But as I've also said today's play-offs have something of the atmosphere of the FA Cup as it used to be and we still - just - have a chance of making them. Remember I said that was still possible after we had lost our first three league games and this board was full of relegation gloom. So let's see if we can go out today, put last week's dismal performance behind us and ramp up the excitement of this season a bit.

Sincere apologies for posting another video. With 'Anna', I love this song. I have a live version of this by The Beatles in Hamburg and a studio version by Gerry and The Pacemakers.
