Ark Royal Edelston & Brice Hi Cape Town - greetings from one newbie to another.
Yes, it was Sanchez who scored at the Shay on 13th April 1984 before a crowd which just about crept into 4 figures. That season was our last in the dreaded Division 4.
13.4.84
Halifax Town 0 Reading 1 (Sanchez)
Att: 1113
Judge, Williams, Richardson, Price, Hicks, Wood, White, Horrix, Senior, Sanchez, Crown
Thanks all...
I seem to recall we had a corner and Sanchez flicked it on at the near post and it went in the far corner.. Ironic really - Maybe he was practicising for bigger stages?
Crap ground no atmosphere... I took 4 mates from Donny who I stayed with that weekend. Bizarrely we were battling with them for promotion that year and I had met them at York earlier in the season when we drew 2-2 against a York team who were top.. They came to support Reading because they hated York.. I think we all got promoted in the end or maybe Donny missed out.. All I remember is David Crown scoring and from behind me this lad says "Who scarr't garl" (poor Yorkshire attempt)... and getting a shock when they said 'we're alt rovers fans com't t' support Reading'...
