Part XII
1980-81 Season
Two tricky away fixtures just yields one point but a draw at league leaders Notts County was a fine result - only Derby had come away from Meadow Lane unbeaten, also getting a goalless draw.
Cambridge (a) 1-2
Sat
Nov 8th, 1980
Bobby Shinton got another but United left The Abbey pointless after Roger Gibbins and Stephen Spriggs scored for the U's. Up front was some towering striker by the name of George Reilly.... Crowd 5,684.
Diary entry
"Then after that listened to match on the radio. Then heard score - 1-0 then 1-1, 2-1 to Cambridge."
Journal Merit Marks: Carr 8, Mitchell 6, Johnson 6, Clarke 6, Boam 6, Carney 5, Shoulder 5, Martin 6, Hibbitt 7, Wharton 6, Shinton 7.
