I remember the atmosphere literally coming over in waves, you could feel it in the air and hear it almost like whispers, the hairs on my neck are standing up just thinking about it, rode our luck but we did all season that year.

Never thought I’d see City play at Wembley when we decided to take a nose dive through the football league in the 90s. What a celebration at the end of the game then spending the next few days cuing for ticket round Maine Road.

Was at that game - fantastic noise from City fans.............anyone know what the attendance was ?
I know we were limited to about 34,800 or there abouts.

We got lucky that night. That was a penalty for Wigan, and it looks like Goater put that in with his upper arm.

Clear dive. ;-)
Can see fans in the Platt Lane end put their hands to their heads when Wiekens lunges in, which I always take as a surefire indicator that it's a penalty. Thank the Lord that standards of refereeing have moved on...

I thought the title was going to be about John Prescott punching that guy when I saw the headline 19years ago fucking hell where does time go

Yep, and only three fuckin' titles to show for it!

This must be false news.

We've never beaten wigan.

But we did break Whelan's leg though!

Such a tense night. The celebrations were amazing on the pitch afterwards. Wigan were probably the better side if i remember correctly

Hit the post in the final minutes I think. They were all over us!
