Wasn't it Ronnie that scored a screamer against Scunny(?)to get the draw, or was it the win that got us the Man U cup game? 1985ish? Sad news.
Not so much a screamer, but a lovely volley from around the penalty spot area about 15 minutes from time to clinch the 2-1 home replay win over Scunthorpe in December 1985.
Steve Taylor scored the other goal and also both goals in the 2-2 draw at the Old Showground in the first game.

Ronnie, his son Ian (I think) and Lennie Lawrence were present in the visiting director's box for the final game of last season against their present club, Hartlepool. We had a brief chat and he had no problem recalling the FA Cup tie at Old Trafford. The one were Bryan Robson was recovering from injury and for some strange reason the undersoil heating system failed in one half of the pitch twice causing two postponements. Eventually I think that the game was played on a Thursday night and without Robson. The declared crowd of 28000 was later amended to 40223 when they discovered some more turnstiles. Dale left fullback Dave Grant nearly being decapitated being on the end of a drop kick from Mark Hughes. And I completely forgotten that Gordon Strachan played for Utd that evening.

Remember it well ...... was working in the Bleeding Heart Wine Bar in London (doing the wages!). I used the pay phone to call the press box & speak to Jack Hammill to get the half time score
