A vital First Division "four-pointer" relegation clash. Great header by Mel Holden (RIP) for our goal, but sadly, the 1-1 draw was of little use to ourselves or Spurs come the final analysis, as we both slipped down to The Second Division.😭😭
Made no odds anyway, they went down five games later, as did we of course . One bad decision (of many from this obvious clown of a ref) MIGHT have been what sent us down. That, or the Coventry vs Bristol City travesty on the final day, where the Coventry chairman, Match of the Day's very own Jimmy Hill, got their game delayed 15 minutes (supposedly down to crowd congestion) and consequently the two teams conspired to play out their match in a 2-2 draw, knowing Sunderland had already lost, so they would both stay up. Still shameful after all this time.
