Chest swells with pride!
However, to correct JTH, I'm not sure Jeff was sent off at Brisbane Road: he was sent off at Moss Lane.
As a result of this, we played our CSC match at Macc on the Tuesday so that Jeff could serve his automatic one match ban. Macc tannoy announcer "Altrincham have made 11 changes to the programme" Chorus of boos from crowd. Alty drew 1-1, won replay 3-0 and survived a protest to the Cheshire FA from Macc for playing a weakened team on the grounds that we won, didn't we?
Jeff pulled us back in the game at Orient by scoring to make it 1-2 in the last 10 minutes after a disappointing Alty performance. This reminded me strongly at the time of Jeff's 86 th minute goal at Doncaster in the trophy semi final second replay against Scarborough (RIP).
I remember telling every United and City fan I met after Orient that we had survived longer in the cup that season than they had: we were knocked out on Wednesday, whereas both United and City lost in replays on the Tuesday. Orient went on to lose 2-3 at home to West Ham in the fourth round.
