Hi,

I'm looking to get the thoughts of fans present at famous games to add to OVF's coverage. I think it's good to capture those unique moments and perspectives on the big games.

So, if you have a memory of the Spurs game, either comment on the article or post a reply to this thread if it is easier.

By posting a reply here you agree that your comments may be used in a future OVF feature.

Thanks!

I remember being in the Vice Presidents Lounge when the Spurs players arrived. At the time my wife and I were talking to ex chairman Don Ratcliffe and his wife Brenda. Terry Venables walked passed wearing a big coat and as we watched them Brenda said we would win the match as Venables' coat belt was twisted and that was a sign of bad luck for him. Only superstition? who knows but it convinced Brenda.

Pre game I just hoped we could give them a game. But after 20 minutes it was game on! 

That gave the crowd and the team the lift that they needed and Spurs seemed intimidated by the situation and could settle into the game. 

A young Neil Ruddock had a nightmare of a game nearly scoring an own goal early on, but his goal after 70 odd minutes led to a tense and nervy finale. 

Never before had I been in such a terrific atmosphere and the Vale Park crowd definately dragged us over the line that day!
