You can take the boy out of Citeh, but you can't take Citeh out of the boy.

Great memories for many, but are we not being a bit small-time to keep going on about this one-off game that changed nothing for us that season?

No

This pic is a rarity cos Bish was normally "hugging" Trev Morley on most shots back then

I went to away game on a coach from Stockport the week before. I can't remember who it was against but someone mentioned Brentford in an earlier post. There was a few days holidays to use up from work so I booked time off for the match.

Anyway a lad on our coach said there would be trouble, he'd heard the Rags had got hold of 200 seats, not sure where from. So I wasn't surprised when it kicked off.

You may have gone Wimbledon the week before in our 1-0 defeat. I was there with many others and also a few days later went Brentford away in the League cup another defeat and I killed two birds at the brentford day as I went to a travel agent in London Polorbis a specialist in travel to Poland in them days for an England trips a couple of weeks later. the one where we drew 0-0 and Peter Shilton had a stormer and we qualified for Italia 90 on that night. a very very incident packed trip !!

Amazing day. We bought about five copies of The Pink and decorated the walls of The Springbank pub in Longsight with the match report pages. The resident reds were not happy

Totally heartwarming to think that one of our heroes that day still remembers it as fondly as we do

No

Correct

The victories against them in those days tasted so much sweeter

They spent millions, enticed the best managers of the time and we fucking spanked them with a wonderful group of players who had come through the ranks together

i met Bish at Hurley Sports in town a few weeks ahead of the 5-1 When buying the famous 5-1 shirt. Easy going bloke, signing autographs and having a bit of banter.
