Sorry mate, the Brightwell Derby is the one we'd digressed to!I think the Wayne Clarke sitter was during the Brightwell "I just wellied it" 1-1 draw in 1990.

He should replace Niall Quinn in the City Hall of Fame for that...err....50/50 tackle.No problem.
However, no discussion of the Curle penalty is complete without an honourary mention for Neil Pointon and his earlier red card.
No wonder we call that place the swamp.I love that vid.
Can't think of another time I've cheered a sent off player as much as he left the pitch.You knew that red was coming for Pointon after family guy got off with a don't do that again warning for a bad tackle
Good player but remember him for 3 things
Carrying that lad back to half way line after scoring at the swamp
Head butting incident with Asprialla
Pointing to the fucking goal for Giggs to shoot
Those 2 Derbys after we came up in 89 were great there. The brightwell one and this one. Was bedlam in that away end both years. Still can't believe white missed the sitter at the end. Loads of city in the corner of the Stretford end. Being kept in and given Elon Wesley shit loads. Top days!!
