Re: Big match revisited on BT Sport
I was at both games.
The Ipswich game features John Jackson making save after save.
The Brighton game includes one of the best goals scored by an away team at Brisbane Road. A 35 yard screamer scored by Paul Clark who later become our Assistant Manager, alongside Tommy Taylor.

That game was December 77.
The 79 game was a 3-3 draw with Coates scoring a screamer.

Re: Big match revisited on BT Sport
I too was at both games (3 if your include the Ipswich replay).
John Jackson earned his nickname ‘Stonewall’ at Ipswich, played on a semi-frozen pitch with an orange ball. Ralph Coates nearly stole the game in the closing minutes.
Back at Stratford, the train stopped short of the platform and yours truly stepped into the dark and a four ft drop! Still laugh about that.
The Brighton game was a corker. Again, Coates showed his class. He had turned to celebrate even before his shot scrapped the bar and buried itself into the net. I remember being exhausted just watching that game.
And, we were wearing The Braces kit.
