I wouldn't normally want to drag up old batterings from the past, but this game at Highbury
contained a slightly unusual incident. With the game at 4-0, Nigel Spink was injured in a challenge
with Kevin Campbell interesting to note Brian Moore's keenness to exonerate Campbell of any blame,
not sure that would be the case with a similar tackle today and without a substitute goalkeeper
available, David Platt takes over between the sticks.

In this week's installment of Friday Flashback Videos, we take you back to the 1974-75
season for a then glamor tie between Stoke City and Leeds United. The video features the first ten
minutes of the broadcast and is hosted by the legendary soccer commentator Brian Moore.
Feel free to post your observations about the game in the comments section below.
I was saddened to hear this past weekend that Malcolm Allison, the legendary former manager of
Manchester City, passed away at the age of 83.
No one apart from Brian Clough summed up 70s and 80s English football better than Malcolm
Allison. He was always a joy to listen to on television and his clubs played good football.
