Oh yeah, Alty 3 Alex 0. The crowd was segregated for the first time that I can remember and it was the biggest crowd that I had ever seen at Alty up until then (5,001). The Alex fans were put on the grass bank in windy corner (where the CSH is now).
That was my first season watching Alty and my first FA Cup game. I remember being on the Chequers terrace. We absolutely took Crewe to pieces in that game.
After disposing of Rotherham in the second round at their ground, we then faced Leyton Orient at Moss Lane in the 3rd round. I sat in the main stand. I believe there were over 7,000 in attendance. We drew 1-1 after conceding a late equaliser, an attempted back-pass to Alex Stepney getting stuck in the mud and allowing Orient to score.
I wonder if we will we ever have another 3rd-round tie at Moss Lane?
