MIKE DOYLE OPENS THE SCORING
From NEIL YOUNG, CATCH A FALLING STAR by Neil Young with Dante Friend
Schalke were a good team with four or five German internationals in the side, but on the night we outfought, outthought, outplayed and outclassed them. Doyley scored our first then I weighed in with the next two, put on a plate for me by Alan Oakes. I remember Doyley with his arms raised, he must have raced the length of the pitch to get to the end of that cross and must have been ecstatic because he didn’t score that often.
Nobody could have lived with us that night. That’s exactly what the Schalke coach said as well.
