After beating Southend United 3-2 on aggregate in round one of the football League cup in the season 1976/77 Brighton and Hove Albion were drawn away to Ipswich Town one of the top teams in the country at that time in round two.
We were so desperate to see the game that night but I was having problems with my car as the dynamo was not recharging the battery. So what I did was take 2 car batteries for my car so I could we could get there and back. I drove on side lights whenever I had the chance to save power in the battery and it just about worked as I got back to 50 yards from my house before the car went dead.
They drew 0-0 that night but it was well worth the trip as they won the reply 2-1.
