[Lord Snooty]

February 4th:

On this date in 1995, we drew at the McAlpine Stadium with Bristol Rovers. the score was 1-1 and Andy Booth scored our goal. Not very interesting, I hear you say. Well maybe not. But later on in that season, we would meet the Gassy Headed Pirates at Wembley. How did that one finish up? Find out in May. 

They had a young player called Marcus Stewart in their line up. He would later sign for Town and achieve legendary status. But the bloke who signed him on has a birthday today. The Town manager of whom I speak is Brian Horton and he's celebrating his 73rd birthday today. Born in Hednesford in Staffordshire in 1949, he managed Town from June 95 to October 97, straddling the Warnock era and the Great Escape season.

We scored four goals in a match at Molineux in 1933. The goals were a hat trick from Charlie Luke and one from Jackie Williams. But in true Town cock up style, we lost the match 6-4.
