That 6-1 defeat to Preston; I'm sure Ronnie Jepson made his debut for Preston that night and scored a first-half hat trick.

If correct I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it.
You may well be right - whether it was his PNE debut I don't know, but he certainly scored a first half hat trick. Incidentally a correction to my previous post, Bray's goal came when we were 0-5 down, not 0-6.

I think he’d played one game before that but it was his home debut for them

I reckon the Texaco Cup semi final of 1974 must have been a very low crowd. I think it kicked off at 2pm on a Tuesday afternoon due to the miner's strike.
I was at school....I tried desperately to get sent home and faked illness......the PE teacher clipped my ear and accused me of "Texaco Cupitis".

That Devine goal was his last kick in professional football.

We got back on the supporters club coach and suddenly Frank Teasdale & Basil Dearing came running across the road. They gave me & Brian (we were stewarding the coach) some money to pay for drinks so we had a quick pub stop.
