"Watch Classic Matches Again"

Still two great blues players Lyons snatched a load of goals and Darracott was a great tackler snitching the ball away from the winger!;)
Last saw Darracott when at Blackburn rovers for Amokachi's debut. Saw us waiting for Amo's autograph (daughter with me!!). Hardly anyone noticed him but I let on as he went past. Just gave a shy rueful smile. Nice guy I think. Not his fault he was no Tommy Wright. My mum taught his kids briefly.

Leicester v Toffee's September 1972,early season optimism that soon evaporated:("John Connolly,John Connolly,the winger to watch":)
Yes he was becoming a great winger till the FA cup Altrincham game, at home when I was stood in the paddock and heard his leg break horrific tackle - never the same player after that I think he broke his leg in two places , and the guy only got booked!
It was a disgusting tackle the fans wanted to lynch the alty guy even in the upstanding paddock - unbelievable, he got away with such a career leg breaking tackle!
 


Not so much a match as a clip but 3:20 in a goal that belongs with Jags and Sheeds goals at the pit(some other good stuff on here if you've got the time and inclination too!!)
