POMPEY v SAINTS, 4th Round, 1984 - "It's last knockings now!" Artwork

"And Smith Must Score!"

The FA Cup podcast that celebrates the highs and lows of the greatest club competition on planet earth between 1980 & 2000. Hosted by Stig Ammonds, Michael Channon & Marvyn Dickinson, three forty something tragic Cup connoisseurs, "And Smith Must Score!" allows the lads to ponder over what to them at least was the last period of true Cup fever. They focus on the joy, the elation and yes, the heartaches that the Cup led to - that moment when for many, it seemed that the world had ended as they slumped to and then sobbed upon the famously strength sapping Wembley turf. Enduring image isn't it? Marvellous.

POMPEY v SAINTS, 4th Round, 1984 - "It's last knockings now!"

January 21, 2022 • Stig Ammonds, Michael Channon & Marvyn Dickinson • Season 2 • Episode 7

Uninspired by the 4th Round of 2022, we found a 4th Round tie worth talking about.

At 4.45pm on Saturday 28th January 1984, the Hampshire Police Force were weighing up the pros and cons of overtime the following Wednesday with the consequences of a replay at the Dell.

Alan Biley, Mark Hateley, Kevin Dillon, Ruben Agboola, David Armstrong, Mark Dennis and airborne loose change.

What a time to be alive.

Steve Moran was there as well.

Alan Knight & Steve Williams - along with Scummer/Skate Mick Channon join us for a trip down a terraced memory lane.

This is about a moment, not allegiances.

A great sporting moment that sums the Cup up.

Epic, cruel & exhilarating.

'Bloody Hell!'
