Have to share this comment as always do when this game is mentioned ... I was there as a guest of NTL in the sponsors lounge as they were match sponsors I believe (by the way I nominated George Shepherd as man of the match but was never announced ... he he)
Anyway, When it was kicking off John King came legging it down shouting at what was the previous chairman of B. Auckland (believe he had resigned not long before the game
) and I was sat behind, too be honest being very scared of John King as he shouted as looked like shouting at me !!! ... Just as he was shouting a lady police officer came through the gate with blood pouring down her face .... John King turned to the ex chairman and said "Have you seen that, its a disgrace..." which is fair enough and then came out with something I will never forget... He pointed at the biggest 'specials; I have ever seen and said I "don't mind them kicking f**k out of them but thats a women" ... The Special coppers looked over and King shouted "Yeah you, you should be in there getting hit not her" ...
An Alty moment that will last forever, almost as good as the "Don't go over there" as though it was appealing
