Highbury Nightmares # 1 - Walsall November 1983

The 1983/4 side was not one of the best teams we ever had, George Graham hadn't arrived - we were signing players like Tommy Caton and a very young TA had just made his debut earlier in the month. We had, though, in the previous round of the Milk (nee League) Cup won at the Lane 2-1 and, so, with an easy home draw against a lower league team we were on the road to glory! I can't remember much of the game - had Don Howe just taken over as caretaker manager who was it after the game? Anyway we lost 2-1 and though we managed to get to the semi-final of the FA Cup it wasn't until George arrived that we were to win a trophy again.
