I will never ever forget this game.....superb atmosphere. We ended up losing the 2nd replay at Leeds but what memories. Glad to be part of the Burnden era.
I remember Barry Davies introducing the teams to this match praising Newcastle’s young up and coming , future England right back Irving Natrass . Peter Thompson taught him what it’s like to play against a proper left winger and tore him to shreads with all his trickery and nutmegs , he is the best crosser of a ball that I have ever seen .Along with John Robertson at Forest they were brilliant when they got to the by-line and rarely ever waisted a cross . What a fantastic player he was I would’ve loved to seen him at his peak in the 60’s, such a shame Sir Alf went with wingless wonders with his class not used .
My team Bolton ended up buying Alan Gowling not long afterwards and he formed a great striking partnership with Frank Worthington when we returned to the first division. Got to admit though, goal of the match was Super-Mac's volley strike, that was simply sublime
I was there for this and got married the following Saturday. The replay at Leeds was on Monday and me and 'the missus' got the train packed with Newcastle fans from our honeymoon in York to Leeds where we got beat 2-1.
Remember going to this match with all the Blakelaw lads as a young 14 year old great day out there were thousands of geordies at the match we used to travel on the Moordale coaches always stopping at Selby services on the way down .SuperMac was my hero but I remember getting home and telling my Mam who is Black & White daft about the Left winger for Bolton called Thompson he was brilliant on the day she said he used to play for Liverpool but that he was getting on in years I remember saying he must of been brilliant at Liverpool as a young lad .
Mark Walker We had a habit of buying players slightly past their prime (Willie Morgan, David Cross, Asa Hartford etc) but getting a couple of good seasons out of them.
I was among the Bolton fans, level with him when he scored that great goal. As the ball hit the back of the net the Bolton fans went quiet, but I was clapping. A bloke beside me asked why I was clapping. I said "Well it was good, wasn't it". Great match on a cold day.
A 7 year old me sat in the Manchester Road stand with my parents just below where the tv gantry was on the roof and not far from the Bolton Directors Box. I'll forever be convinced that's my Mum you hear just as McDonald scored his second goal, possibly the 2nd best I ever saw at Burnden (Frank Worthington and THAT goal against Ipswich being the best). I mentioned the Bolton Directors Box. As the crowd settled following Bolton's first goal it became obvious there was a medical emergency in the Directors Box. Later that evening it was confirmed that the Bolton director Jack Banks had passed away from a heart attack which occurred just as Bolton scored.
My dad was too tight to buy me a ticket; tight bastard! Walked me by the the river Croal to listen to the roar instead. Not spoken to him since then at 11...now 53!
I was in the lever end aged 14 one fella shouted where's your horse MacDonald? Five minutes later he scored one of the best goals I've seen sticks in the memory forever
In the first game on valentine's day 76.The story goes,that Ian Greaves, (Bolton Manager) warned Big Sam and Paul Jones all week :: Dont let Super Mac use his left foot: and that happens, look at the expression on Barry Siddalls face. This was the game when Boltons Chairman Banks (a builder from Blackrod) had a heart attack during the game and died. All 3 games were on bbc. The replay at St James was on sportsnight. 0-0 aet 50.000. And the following Monday at Elland road Leeds was on tv as well. We lost 2-1 .i was 6 and remember the traffic from Bolton on the m62 was choca block. And that bad that we all parked on the hard shoulder on the motorway !! After those games it cost us promotion, as we just couldn't score and lost to Blackburn, Oxford United and York City at Burnden and West Brom got the Third promotion place. If: we had gone up that season 1975-76 to division one.im convinced we would have stayed longer: (as Thompson, Dunne,Morgan,R Greaves and Ritson would have need 3 years younger) than we did in 1977-78. Happy days. Who remembers in the tie before 4th round ,we took 20.000 to Huddersfield!!!
Yes a great game remember it well 0-0 replay went to Leeds lost at Elland Rd . Alan Gowling joined us soon after and of course the Legand that was Frank Worthington. RIP Frank

Bet you enjoyed it though Bruce, lot of nostalgia for Burnden but yeah, it was crumbling by then. They were good times with games worth watching at affordable prices with the pubs close by afterwards. These days its a six mile hike to a concrete bowl without a pub in sight, the club selling its own shit ale at astronomical prices, like everything else. Progress eh? Good luck.

Probably the best match Ive ever been to, and also went to both replays at Newcastle and Leeds

Peter Thompson's cross for Allardyce's goal- sublime.
Remember this like yesterday. What a fantastic match. Atmosphere more than electric.....Absolutely brilliant.
Pleasure Mark.

What a cup tie . Two excellent teams going toe to toe .
the good old days of football
Ken Doddy. What a body under the patio? No not that show.
The days when clubs put out there full team squads for F.A. Cup & League Cup matches. Great days
Oh, those were the days. Lots of happy memories.❤
Yes those cup games were really special. Super Mac was a genious.
I was among the Bolton fans, level with him when he scored that great goal. As the ball hit the back of the net the Bolton fans went quiet, but I was clapping. A bloke beside me asked why I was clapping. I said "Well it was good, wasn't it". Great match on a cold day.
RIP Tony Dunne. True Bolton legend👍
ohh I do like the sight of a bog roll being thrown when a goal was scored

Cheers for sharing William, sad news about Jack.
My dad was too tight to buy me a ticket; tight bastard! Walked me by the the river Croal to listen to the roar instead. Not spoken to him since then at 11...now 53!
Honestly
Yep...wife beater too
FFS get a life!
What a atmosphere
3-3 0-0 and 2-1 Newcastle , at Elland rd Leeds those were the days !!
Supermac what a fantastic player
I was in the lever end aged 14 one fella shouted where's your horse MacDonald? Five minutes later he scored one of the best goals I've seen sticks in the memory forever
one of the best ever !
I was at that match that day, McDonald ripped us to pieces.

Wow that Supermac volley was just shear Supermac(class).
That second McDonald goal ! SuperMac, Superstar, How many goals have you scored so far ? Toon Army.
When cup ties weren't about money screamer from MacDonald great player
great great SUPERmac
Clubs always wanted Cup Runs to bring in more Money
@@simonmaskell365 correct.
I was at the second replay at elland road when we got beat 2-1
Exciting times
Newcastle approached Bolton to appoint Ian Greaves as their manager shortly after, probably largely influenced by these games.
Yes a great game remember it well 0-0 replay went to Leeds lost at Elland Rd .
Alan Gowling joined us soon after and of course the Legand that was Frank Worthington.
RIP Frank
Would be fat Sam scoring in this of course. The scourge & jinx of Newcastle United striking yet again......
Bloody hell, Sam Allardyce! Don't recognise him without a pint of wine in his hand!
ha ha! Aye, they say he LOVES an ale or two allegedly)
what was the score in the replay ?
millwallholdings 0-0 at St James Park. Newcastle won a 2nd replay at Elland Road, 2-1. Almost 143k attended the 3 ties.
i was there a kid supporting BWFC.
I was there
McDonald's 2nd was a corker !!
It was a fluke if you look closely you can see he slips as he is about to hit it!
@@sebthered makes it even better ,buried it off balance,he score better beleive it or not he was lethal,either foot.
What a waste of bog rolls! No wonder Tesco has run out
It went to a3rd repla
