This issue is for the Hereford game in early October 1979.  It was a 2-1 win, courtesy of Phil Henson and Mike Czuzcman, who scored for the third game in a row. The cover pictures feature Alan Thompson&#8217;s penalty at Old Trafford 12 months previously; a shot of the Town Hall taken from Wellington Road, and Mike Summerbee, (then manager but sacked a week after the game after a 6-1 reverse at Valley Parade).  He&#8217;s with Mike Bailey the Hereford manager who lasted a full 5 days more than Summerbee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background has-medium-font-size\" style=\"color:#ffffff\"><strong>TOMMY PUTS SUNDERLAND TO THE SWORD<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">I missed the one home game this year.  Once again it was a day when cricket took precedence when Rochdale visited EP in mid August  for the season opener.  The summer sport had also led me to miss a first trip to Sealand Road for a League Cup game the previous week.  It would be another 2 years before I got to go there.  We had the excitent of some of the &#8220;great and good&#8221; of the English game treading the hallowed turf.  Sunderland came in the League Cup and drew 1-1.  A decent performance we thought but a trip to Roker looked to be the end of the line.  It shows how much thoughts can be wrong!!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">I didn&#8217;t make it to the north-east, (work commitments precluding a half day off), but listened to the action unfold on a small transistor radio as I watched Ashton United at Hurst Cross. (Surreal in retrospect &#8211; the idea of us playing competitive football at Ashton would have been inconceivable then!!). We won of course and the reward was a game against Arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide has-background wp-block-media-text has-very-light-gray-background-color\" style=\"grid-template-columns:40% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"963\" height=\"774\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tommy-Sword-pen-at-sunderland.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1369 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tommy-Sword-pen-at-sunderland.jpg 963w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tommy-Sword-pen-at-sunderland-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tommy-Sword-pen-at-sunderland-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Tommy-Sword-pen-at-sunderland-768x617.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 963px) 100vw, 963px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Tommy Sword pictured scoring the winning penalty at Roker Park.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">The crowd when the Gunners turned up was 11,635 &#8211; still the biggest crowd I have ever been in at EP.   Crowds were falling though.  Taking out the Sunderland and Arsenal games, the average in 1980 was 2.572, (a reduction of getting on for 40% in two years).    It was a reflection of what was on offer. After the Arsenal game there were 9 league fixtures and we lost 6 of them.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">We turned the year in 21st place &#8211; a re-election battle was on the horizon.  The battle was won, by the slim margin of 3 points and one place!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Other than the Cup games home highlights were few and far between. The end of the 1979\/80 season featured a visit from the Shaymen. We went out on a high winning 4-1. It was a bitter sweet moment for Eddie Prudham, (left), though. He finished his Hatters career in that game having been told he wasn&#8217;t being retained for the following season. Obviously wanting to prove the powers that be wrong he notched a hat-trick, the only one in his County days, in which he totalled 24 goals in 87 (+8) games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignwide has-background wp-block-media-text has-very-light-gray-background-color\" style=\"grid-template-columns:18% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"114\" height=\"152\" src=\"http:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eddie-Prudham.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1005 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eddie-Prudham.jpg 114w, https:\/\/57hattersyears.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Eddie-Prudham-113x150.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 114px) 100vw, 114px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Eddie Prudham &#8211; he finished his time at EP with a hat-trick<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">It was a poor start to the decade, and proved to be the precursor of similar years.
