One of the greatest comebacks of modern times as City recover from 3-0 down with ten men to beat Tottenham 4-3 at White Hart Lane. After going three behind in the first half and seeing Joey Barton dismissed for a second yellow at the break, the Blues seemed to be heading for defeat in the FA Cup fourth-round replay. Somehow, Kevin Keegan's side clawed their way back into the game and goals from Sylvain Distan, Paul B...osvelt made it 3-2 with just over ten minutes left. Then Shaun Wright-Phillips skipped through to level the scores before Jon Macken connected with Michael Tarnat's cross in the last minute to send the City fans wild and give the Blues a famous victory and passage into the fifth round. How many Blues on here were there and what are your memories of that night............The game has such a special meaning to me as my lad Harvey was fighting for his life at a near by London hospital, as he battled meningococcal septicaemia, a deadly form of meningitis, I'd barley left his side for almost two weeks, I had a ticket for the game and some friends had offered to pick me up from the hospital and drop me back afterwards, but I couldn't leave his side so decided not to go, I watched the scores flick up on my mobile(Nokia6410) phone and remember thinking to myself as the Spurs goals went it " Thanks City, you couldn't even give me a result to lighten the my mood". So what followed was simply fantastic, as it gave me a massive boost, Harvey then went on to stage his very own remarkable comeback as he made an almost full recovery, Despite amputations to his hands and feet he's the bubbly little character you see by my side on match days and more recently the TV too :-) . Thanks City :-)
Would love to hear Blues stories from this night.
