    Never seen any video of that game but I remember it well, standing behind the goal dodging coins thrown from above....

    The best bit was when he was warming up and all the Wednesday team stopped to look:D

    Unfortunately no. I'm constantly looking for all footage and this game is near the top but I think the best we can hope for is possibly amateur footage (yep even back then)

    I will however promise to post it on here if I ever do find any.

    I don't recall ever seeing a re run of the goal on any local tv show at the time.
    The one thing I DO recall when Ronnie started warming up was a nervous murmuring from the Wednesday fans (along with the Wednesday players also noticing him, as already stated). They were right to be nervous! Ronnie was magic, showing why he was such a match winner for us.

    The buzz in the ground was palpable! Only Ronnie could have that effect...

    Remember it well stood on the raised up corner (now unused) bit of the Leppings Lane away end.
    Wednesday were bricking it when they saw him warming up. Think he was returning from a lengthy lay off at the time.
    Soon after came the inevitable winner from Ronnie and manic celebrations in the away end. Happy days, just a shame there’s no footage anywhere....

    They loved him those Wednesday fans, didn’t they?

    Remember during the 2-2 draw at Swillsboro November 81 chants from the kop “Ronnie Glavin’s a fat ba$tard, a fat ba$tard”. Then he popped up with a brilliant late equaliser which silenced them.

    Not bad for a fat ba$tard.

    A further thought about the ‘83 game in the original post. Told to my old man by the late, great Rimmo.

    Just before he came on, Ronnie said to those on the bench “I’ll get a goal”. And he did!
