30 years and it's still 5-1

Feels like yesterday.

I was 11 and was just getting into going to games.

This lit the touchpaper and I never looked back.

I fell hook, line and sinker that day.

I was 15, my first time being allowed to watch a derby game from the Kippax.

It was my first time seeing us beat them, unless you count us beating them in the Arthur Albiston testimonial earlier that summer (still my only time seeing us win at the swamp live)

A memory which remains very fresh even now. Absolute chaos.

30 years, it's true what they say, life just passes so quickly.

Enjoyed that. Thanks OP.

Still buy the cakes at work each year to celebrate this day rather than my birthday. For those 40 somethings, being at school around this time, this day meant everything.

Early cross...

Chance at the far post

Doesn’t count really. This was before football was invented.

Good stuff and a great day for us I love Maine Road sad to see

Despite everything that’s happened in the last few years this is still probably my favourite day. First derby.

My 1st Derby too.noise was amazing.
Kippax was heaving. The roar for our 2nd goal will live with me forever.it was disbelief as much as anything .
Football has changed so much over the years.watching people politely clap kdbs goal sat ..compared with the wild celebrations on kippax for our goal s..

Just seen the Ceefax post with Hinchcliffe's goal on 62 minutes, I always thought he scored much later than that. Was sat in the Main Stand aged 11 with my Dad and brother. What a day to be a blue :)
