I went to this game, a 1-1 draw if I remember correctly. During the height of the troubles and they played in Hull tooStumbled across this earlier.

I remember the bloke storming the pitch just before the final whistle and confronting the players - He got a subsequent lifetime ban from the ricohI remember Forest Green at home back in 2017.
