The year many of us thought our name was on the FA Cup, especially after Alan Hansen predicted we'd win it. I seem to recall that we didn't think drawing Spurs at home was too bad. A young Nick Barmby was smashing it for them that season but IIRC he had to go and play in some international youth tournament - Spurs conspiracy theorists felt that Swales had a lot to do with that as he held a prominent position at the FA - on the other side of the world and was missing for this match which many of us saw as a result. I think Nayim was his replacement and after Sheron put us ahead sparking some of the most manic scenes I've ever witnessed on the Kippax, he promptly went and scored a hat-trick ffs!

No way 30 years ago?
I watched it at my mates house, a few beers and some, we all went mental when Terry Phelan scored.
Wow, i was only 19 at the time, it seemed like another life time.
Always remember the commentator having a go at sam ellis for laughing when it went off.

I was still living at home doing my nurse training at Wythenshawe hospital. Couldn't watch the end of the match so went for a drive in my first ever car. It was a maroon mini reg plate GCB 28N. Was absolutely gutted.

Was in the Kippax. Very moody day. I was distraught as thought we’d get through
