I remember going to this game with my dad. He bought tickets in the wrong part of the ground, so we ended up sitting in the old grandstand at the time with the Chelsea fans. We went 2-0 down and the Chelsea fans were laughing and poking fun at me with my Argyle scarf on. The game changed in the 70 min when Mariner got one back. Away to my left on the open terracing the Argyle fans went mad. I jumped out of my seat and cheered like mad. The Chelsea fans around me were not happy. Argyle were back in the game, against a team which included players like Ray Wilkins, Bonetti and Chopper Harris. 5 mins later we were in heaven, Mariner had scored the equaliser. This time I lifted my scarf, turned around in my seat facing the Chelsea fans and cheered loudly (among other gestures.) I have to be honest and say that the ecstasy I felt at that moment is why I love supporting our great club. If I said the Chelsea fans were not happy that would be a massive understatement! Mariner had done it again.
Does history repeat itself? Well maybe it did last night. Two down to Chelsea, came back to get a draw. This time another young striker scores both the goals. Time will tell, but in Fletcher we have a very talented footballer. If he had gone unnoticed before, after last night he is on the radar big time.
