~The ground looked 75% swathes of blue Dario, awesome. I was in my late teens at the time and thought it would always be this way so never really appreciated it as much as I should at the time.I think Villa had about 12/13 thousand at their previous home game,I think the gate was around 32000 that day, we don't have to be Einstein to work out we had a huge following that day!!
Leicester away March 1985,one of my faves, we weren't at our best that particular day, but what determination we had,Andy Gray,nearly knocking himself out against the postThere's loads keep springing to my mind, go ahead!!
Yeah I was 21!!~The ground looked 75% swathes of blue Dario, awesome. I was in my late teens at the time and thought it would always be this way so never really appreciated it as much as I should at the time.
Went to old Trafford for that game and seem to remember Jim Arnold getting injured after a foul on him and the referee adding on loads of injury time which of course was when United scoredJim Arnold in goal that day wasn't he?
An old git but played a blinder and the following season some erk by the name of Southall got a game. How did he do, I wonder.
February 86 vs Spurs at home Peter Reid had been out injured for a while .It was a really close game then Reid with about 10 mins left one on one with goalie takes it round him slots at the park end .But I don't know if my minds playing tricks with me because I can remember Reid giving the ball to their winger John chedozie him rounding the the goalie to equalize and missing but am sure that was the park end as well .Anyway great game and result for a great team
Man Utd away, I think it was Dec 83, we were pretty poor at the time and everyone thought we were going there to make the numbers up, Sheedy smashed one in off the underside of the bar to give us a one nil win, we outplayed them that day, that's when people started thinking we might have something here, the 2 sections of the scoreboard end we occupied went absolutely mental. about 4 weeks later came the infamous Coventry home game on New years eve, then the FA Cup 3rd
round at Stoke closely followed by the Kevin Brock Oxford game, the rest as they say is history
ive looked everywhere for it, never found itWould love to see that goal again,always remember that BBC and ITV news always showed a little bit of action(just a minute or two) from one of the days games and I always remember seeing Sheed's goal on the news that night.I think United were 2nd and we were probably in the bottom 5 or 6 going into that game.
Yes you're right about Reid's goal against Spurs, I was in the front bit of the street end. @wba83 had me doubting my memory, increasingly frequent at my ageMy memory of that was that Reidy (coming back from his long lay off as you said)smashed in a late close range volley of the underside of the bar (street end),then,yes,he nearly gave it away by giving it straight to Chiedozie who went round Southall and missed. Talking of Peter Reid goals,the one against West Ham in the 87 title run in,he must have been 30 yards out,it screamed in! Think we were 4-0 up after half an hour,and that's how it finished.
