When Hughes scored just after half time, did anyone on here think "Here we fucking go. We've lost it!" I know pretty much everyone around me in the Kippax did.

I did.

Just turned 18 and the first time I saw City win a derby. Everyone in the top left of the Kippax going mental and hoarse. Went to the Venue that night and many a blue was out.

I was halfway line,halfway down on left handside of Kippax. .right up against the partition of empty terrace between us and their lot.Fantastic atmosphere and one of the most electric days of my life.

I was too young to understand football but I remember it being quite an amazing day

An amazing day. And the Rags kicked out of the North stand during the first half.

There was always an empty bit of terrace there to separate the fans. Yes what an amazing day considering we were terrible.

£13 million.

It doesn’t sound like much in today’s market, but in 1989 it was a fucking shitload.

Don’t recall them being forged, thought it had something to do with our ticket office and the touts

I guess we'll never know the truth but I was told there was a gang who were into forging tickets for big events and they did a couple of hundred for that derby.

Yes they had spent a fortune. I was stood there thinking we are going to get massacred.
