I was sad and drove back from Torquay once using the A38 as much as possible. We had drawn 1-1 with Torquay on Saturday 2nd September 1995. I’d been in Devon and Cornwall for a week beforehand so I had driven the A38 up from Bodmin to Torquay and then had the crazy idea to drive back on the Sunday avoiding the Motorways so logically it had to be the A38. As pointed out it doesn’t exist in certain places and was very difficult to follow through certain towns/ cities like Bristol, Gloucester and Birmingham. Elsewhere it was a beautiful drive and far more relaxing than the motorway although from memory it took about 8 or 9 hours of driving (I had a couple of breaks) to get to Mansfield before heading up to Bradford.
No idea who scored for Stags but Stuart Hadley was top scorer with 8 and Ian Bowling was player of the season
