Does anyone recall an FA Cup game in the '60's at the Cottage v Millwall when we were Div 1 and they Div 3. Winning 3-1 (Reg Stratton scored twice!) ended up 3-3 and we lost 2-0 in the replay?

Yes I was there at both matches. Did Rodney Marsh make his debut in the replay at the Den, or was it John Dempsey.
I think it was Dempsey. Rodney's was against Villa when he scored a wonder goal at the Putney end and was promptly dropped until many games later!!

Superb goal. He was young and leggy with a mod haircut and wore his shirt outside his shorts. We thought we had found a new star. So,naturally, we didn't see him for the rest of the season! When he got back into the team he promptly scored against Leicester but ran into a goalpost which seriously effected his balance or hearing or something and missed the rest of that season.
He was leading goalscorer the season after - but we soon put paid to that by selling him for peanuts to QPR. Good old Fulham! You have to laugh or else you'd spend your life in tears.
Just checked, Dempsey made his debut at left back in a league match. that same season.

Glorious days watching our own Rodney beat three players take it round the keeper and trip over the ball!!
Such happy day's, ruined when we sold him.
