If I remember rightly it was a Sunday live game. I can still remember the noise to this day. Thankfully, there wasn't the same amount of cameras around in those days or Pat would have been doing a stretch.My dad was there.
Before my time but my dad and uncle thought he was a great one. Fearless.
lolI was son yes.
Remember being at that match and thinking we were going to batter them after scoring so early,but having to go through the rest of game fully expecting us to slip up . Also remember whilst celebrating looking at all the Norwich fans who'd hung on to witness our joy, it felt great. Never thinking it would be our last for so long.The celebrations at the end of the Norwich match!

Brilliant player. That foul on Speedy is one of my abiding memories because it happened right in front of where I was stood on the Paddock, so I witnessed it in full gory detail. Most effective elbow I've ever seen. Speedy was totally sparked out and had to be substituted about 10 mins later. Any other player could have sustained brain damage, but fortunately it was Speedy.Known for his....well, his tendency for homicidal violence, but was some player. Any of us that we're lucky enough to witness the great times of the mid 80"s will have nothing but affection for psycho Pat.
He also gave speedy such a crack during the Chelsea game it was heard right round the ground, the ref wasn't watching, there was a loud bang, the crowd went "oooooh" and that little rat was laid out cold.
A fearless and fast left back who was involved in many a goal and was also super dependable.
I was in the paddock as well. I remember people looking at each other, open mouthed, wondering just how he got away with it. There was a crack and an echo....then a cheer once Pat got the all clear.Brilliant player.
