I remember us playing Kettering in the cup in the early 70s. They had a bloke dressed as a monk who went round the greyhound track ringing a hand bell before the game. They got a 1-1 draw before we beat them 2-1 at their place in the replay I was there. Iirc it was season 69/69 so it was 3rd round Jan ‘69. The monk went round ringing his bell. In the replay we were 0-1 down and Laurie Taylor then saved a pen. There ground then was Rockingham Road I think. Squeaky bum time and then we went to the 5th round v Everton at Goodison..👍 UTG! The 4th round tie was away to Bolton which we won 1-2. It was dangerous standing at the open end as track ballast was being thrown from the adjacent railway and the attendance at Goodison was around 55,000 where we lost 2-1.

Oddly the crowd for the Kettering home game was our biggest of the season by some distance (12,230). Wayne Jones scored both goals at Bolton after coming on as sub. We lost 1-0 at Everton (55,284) to a 30th minute Joe Royle goal
