Sheffield United, 2-5. Gary Fitzpatrick was our best player and we never saw him again. The Double Decker was full of Sheffield United fans, who were actually really decent chaps by and large. Harry Bassett was their boss, and I think there's an old doc on Youtube somewhere which shows him in the dressing room, being very very Dave Bassett. I got to know the ref years later too. Also a very nice chap. I can't remember who scored our goals. 

 

I think Marc North died only a few years later, sadly. His last game for us was the Oxford win (so, quite a heroic high to go out on) but, in an indication that lots of individuals get to play at this level without being anywhere near league standard, he spent his final years in local football. Patson Daka take note. As for our RB that day, it must have been Ali Mauchlen, surely? Quite the contrast with Ricardo.

One of my first ever games I remember, sitting in the family stand about 7 years old baking hot day and we got battered

Pre injuries wonderful player, one of the best in the world in his position and certainly comes across as a nice / good person. 
 

He was completely the wrong choice for a captain though. Failed in his leadership of a team. 
also, after  relegation was confirmed he didn’t speak to any fans, drove of quickly. As captain his responsibility, not for Page or hamza to do so. That’s my only dispute with Ricardo.

Shouldn’t your dispute be with the person who made him captain. He hasn’t been of the same standard on the pitch in recent years but still a model professional albeit crocked by injuries.

To be fair, who the hell else would you make captain in this squad? Ricardo is pretty much the only model professional we have, and probably one of the very few players who the fans don't actively hate.

Wow. Quite the tirade. I'm 46. He's the best right back (pre his injury) I've seen play for us. In my opinion. 
 

Who do you suggest is better than him (at his peak) to have played for us, since 1979?

Alan Paris anyone?
