City's best ever goal mouth scramble.... 29 years ago today!

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Away at Blackpool, FA Cup 4th round, losing 1-0 with seconds left....
I was right behind the goal at the bottom and was jumped on by a large mob for ages!
Fuckin' freezing that day too, the wind ripped your face off!

I think I may have this on cassette with Brian Clarke commentating. [Piccadilly Radio]

Used to record a lot back then, and James H Reeve's post match phone-in including Paul Stewart's brother ringing in to have a go at the Doc.

Those were the days......mayhem on the way,before,during,after & on the way back !!

Lancs police said all the cells in Blackpool were full by noon & they were taking fans to Fleetwood & Preston.

Proper tube telly that, an' all!

 

[Tom H Conwy exile]

If I remember rightly there was a city fan or fans on the roof of one of the stands. A mental day, the old days were great. We used to take over towns and have a ball. 15-20 of us emerging from the back of a transit van along with a mass of empty cans...

Happy days them mate.

How that didn't get Goal of the Month, I'll never know!

There was an agenda even then!

Soon as I saw the thread title I thought Blackpool.

Those were the days.

 

[East Level 2]

Bloody freezing. I was in the covered terrace down the side and hardly saw any of the game.
