You lucky bastards
And where did the left back come fromThe fifth is definitely up there as one of my all time favourite City goals.
& were chanting during that win ‘City are next, City are next whoa whoa’Yep, you're indeed correct, I remember it now, coming on the back of so many goals.
And I was one of the 17,000 at that Huddersfield game!
People might not remember the week before the 5-1, United had actually walloped Millwall by five goals at home!!
85 we lost 3-0, my first derby. Think that was part of them their winning first 10 games of the season under Atkinson when he claimed they’d win the league by Christmas, which of course they didn’t :)
Delirium is about right. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that same sense of breathless hysteria that I experienced when the 2nd went in that day. Truly amazing scenes. Even Yaya’s SF winner or Sergio’s goal weren’t quite the same - must be to do with being young I suppose.
That was the previous season. We drew the following season (‘86/87) when McCarthy scored that amazing header, to which @tolmie's hairdoo was referring.85 we lost 3-0, my first derby.

Was there for both. That big Mick goal was a belting header. Right in front of my seat in the middle of the NS I seem to recallThat was the previous season. We drew the following season (‘86/87) when McCarthy scored that amazing header, to which @tolmie's hairdoo was referring.
You are correct about that game being in the middle of that great start to the season that united had in ‘85/86.
