On This Day

January 7th
1978
What a comeback!
Bob Newton scores his second goal in a pulsating opening 20 minutes as Pools come from a goal behind to lead highly-rated Crystal Palace 2-1. Pools survived some severe second half pressure, with Bourne hitting the bar in the last minute, but hung on for a memorable victory.
