Was just watching this on BBC1 this afternoon, an entertaining bit of light relief in these surreal times, & saw no less than 4 former Argyle managers (2 were caretaker managers) playing in games in the eighties & nineties. Peter Reid, Russell Osman, Steve McCall & John Sheridan.

Watched a replay of a very useful mid 80's Watford side put Arsenal out, admittedly Arsenal were slightly in transition at that stage. Strange to think Tony Coton never got near an England cap.

3-1. Ian Allinson gave them an early lead which was cancelled out by 2 goals from Blissett and 1 from Barnes. Big controversy near the end as the Lino was flagging for a possible foul in the Watford penalty box unseen by the ref and Watford went up the other end and scored. The semi final was famous for Gary Plumley playing in goal

Who ever could forget Argyle v Stourbridge?

They were unlucky not to have nicked in the first game let alone the nightmare of the replay
