Newcastle United 4-3 Nottingham Forest - FA Cup Quarter-Final (Saturday 9th March 1974) 

At the age of 13yrs that was the most exciting 90 minutes of my life. Indeed, I’m not sure that anything has surpassed it since.

A couple of things I took away from this: 1 - of all of football's faults back in those days, it's sad that we've gotten used to players hassling the ref on a constant basis. Here it's just 1 guy and as soon as he persists on arguing he's off the pitch. It'd be lovely if we could return to that. 2 - that little ticker in the top right at the end brought back a bit of nostalgia I didn't think I had!

Thanku so much. Live n work in Nottingham n people don't believe me when I tell them this happened.

Great memories & times. Thank you

It was just the bairns enjoying themselves😊

Remember it well as a young 14year old Burnley fan who waited to see we would play in the semis.

Why l love the toon

I was there in the gallowgate then had to have two replays at everton was working on the freeman hospital and the gaffer said if you go to match instead of coming to work your sacked so what did i do went to the match got sacked was not bother we won thats what Newcastle fans ar all about Newcastle till i die😊

I was there at 18…went onto Wembley and lost 3.0 to Liverpool.

Never seen that match before. Great add.

I was at this match as a 13 year old great game

I was in the Leazes end and it was great

I was there, bottom line Forrest agreed to finish the game when they were3-1 up

I was there, up under the shed roof!

most exciting game ive ever been too. had to sleep outside st james to get my semi final ticket

When I worked for the PFA Pat Howard was my boss.I reminded him about this ...he was always evasive and felt a tad responsible for what happened. Remember Forest got KO d in the replay and Newcastle went to Wembley Oops Big Pat

Duncan McKenzie is typically entertaining, as is what goes on around him.

Just check out the introduction. Fun and full of character. Not the joyless, quasi science money nonsense we get now.

Was there, never bought daily mirror again!!

wonder why we stopped singing you'll never walk alone

The game was replayed

The first forest goal looked like he used his hand, not saying it is but it looked funny.

As a life long Forest fan, all I can say is what does VAR say?

Geordie Aggro

Absolute bull. Most of these 'hooligans" were school kids who couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding. We went from 1-3 to 4-3 with 10 men and Forest wanted it replayed with 3-1 lead and against 10 men with 20 or so minutes left. Own it, you got beaten....TWICE

I was at the match to, age 15, i was actually the lad who ran across the pich on yhe day, nothing to do with being a hooligan i was running away in a panic after getting out of the leazes end because of the crush and a police came running at me so i ran blindly across the pich. I did not realise till years later it was me on the start of every match of the day lol.

Forest were well intimidated by that, unfair realy, Newcastle should have been disqualified, justice that Newcastle didn't win the cup that year !

Luckily into the semis & hammered in the Final. R.

Can't believe it! This poor quality match should be abandoned the moment those scumbags invaded the pitch. The game was so slow, full of horrendous ball control and subpar techniques

Appalling pitch.....as for the Geordie fans, nothing's changed. Still delusional.
