I was there.
I don't remember the late Ian Moores (RIP) having that kind of skill!
We beat Man City 1-0 at home in the round after this in front of 38,000 fans at the Victoria Ground with Jimmy Greenhoff scoring the winner, loudest roar I have ever heard at a Stoke game. I am sure I remember seeing the highlights of the Man City game on Sportsnight when I got home but I have never seen them. It was my favourite Stoke game ever.
We all thought Stoke would go all the way to the final when we drew lowly 2nd divsion Sunderland at home in the next round, but we lost after a replay, of course we did :-(

From the Spurs goal it looks like we couldn't defend back then either...

I remember I could still hear our fans singing after the game when I got to the car at the top of Penkhull Bank. It was some atmosphere! |

I was expecting to see Glenn Hoddle smack one in from the edge of the box on his full debut..beating a full length dive from Shilton and Moores(?)
Seasons all get confused when you get old and senile 😮💨

First game after the Butler Street storm damage. I have a memory that the Spurs game was due to be played the day after the roof blew in but was obviously postponed. I could easily be wrong though. |

Which home game was postponed because of the roof Joe? I dont mean the Boro game at Vale Park obviously. |

I don't remember the late Ian Moores (RIP) having that kind of skill! I'd like to publicly apologise to his family for thinking he was rubbish mainly because he wasn't John Ritchie! He went on to have a great career and we'd be blessed to have a number 9 like him now! In fact he'd probably be more suited to the modern game! |

I went to live in Cyprus in 1985, Moores was already a bit of a legend for a Nicosia club. I lived in Limassol, had a Snooker Club over there, Dave Cross who played for West Ham, started playing for a club in Limassol . He started coming in 3 or 4 times a week, brought Moores in couple of times. |
