50 years today, Wednesday Dec 13 1967, FA Cup 1st round Tow Law Town 5 Mansfield Town 1. Mansfield were in Football League Division 3 ( now EFL League 1) Anybody remember and is the club doing anything to commemerate a fantastic result?

I was there.

Have you thawed out yet ??

I was there that day started work at 5 30 am and was in the clubhouse for a couple of pints by 1 pm. after that fantastic result was back in celebrating and afterwards helped carry the days takings to the post office to put in the safe. Fantastic day and everlasting fantastic memories.

dave hollins was the keeper for mansfield.....beleve geordie brown was up front for the lawyers.

quite right local lad think he scored twice that day

If memory serves, Tow Law got Shrewsbury in the next round, which presumably went to a replay as the third round draw (12,30pm on the radio on Monday, those were the days) came out as Tow Law or Shrewsbury v Arsenal.
Tow Law took a bit of finding on a London school atlas back then!

The Tow Law v Shrewsbury game was postponed a few times, hence the cup draw stating the winners would play Arsenal. When the game was played it ended up 1-1 with Tow Law absolutely battering Shrewsbury with the help of a gale force wind behind them in the first half.Tommy Henderson scored for the Lawyers in the first half, who continued to push Shrewsbury back in the second half despite playing against the gale. Frank Clarke (brother of Alan Clarke of Leeds and England) equalised with about 10 minutes to go and Shrewsbury went on to win the replay 6-2. Ah, those were the days.
