Me and my Dad listening to my radio upstairs in my room whilst my mam did the tea. When Morley scored we went beserk. So did my mum. "What the fuck's going on up there you pair of idiots?" She thought one of us had fallen down the stairs.

Similar scenes in his car at the side of Kwik Save in Eccles when Ian Brightwell leathered us level at the shithole whilst my mam did the shopping. It was going dark and the people passing by near Eccles market must have thought a pair of love birds were shagging such was the rocking of the car when Brian Clarke described the goal.
 
I was there myself, what a day! I was 21 on the fourth of may and my pals all paid for a chauffeur driven limo complete with champagne to take us to the match. It picked us all up in Cheadle Hulme in the morning and we had a few beers in Halifax on the way there. It was memorable for a few reasons, not least coz we went up! I remember as we were being chauffeured away from the ground after the match we saw fat Charlie from Bury and his mates, so as we were driving past we tossed plenty of copper coins at their feet and called them all peasants as we sped off! A night to remember ensued after that as you might imagine. I'm 45 now, and amongst many great and comical city moments that game sticks out as one of my favourites
 
Was at Bradford for that, went mental.

Pitch invasion and piss up later

Was at the swamp for the Brightwell goal, class melee in the old paddock.
 
I was living in Dover at the time and on strike so short of cash.I had to meet Frank Newton in a pub in Bradford who had me a ticket and a membership for the stand which was rebuilt after the fire.I stayed in a cheap B+B in Manningham lane and had a ball after the game with the couple who lived and worked there,drinks,good music and smoke,great night after partying in Bradford.

I honestly thought we would never score that day.I remember that long haired lad running on the pitch trying to gee the players up with Palace winning by a cricket score[they kicked off late due to crowd trouble or something.]

Spookily i just noticed the date....does it really say May 13th???

I was ok because I lived in Bradford at the time and drank with a few of the Ointment ( Bradford Crew).

I was in the Bradford end as well, behind the goal in the corner. A lad I worked with was a season ticket holder at Bradford and he let me have his ticket, I remember the long haired lad running on the pitch. I also remember the match seemed to fly by.
 
Was easier to get into North Korea than Bradford that day. Ended up in their end behind the goal with my dad who made me promise I would'nt celebrate if we scored. Of course when Morley did the business I kept quiet and he went running down their Kop like a complete loon. Happy days!

Think there were a few dotted around that day. The long haired lad certainly wasn't me. My hair did a runner at about
18.
 
In the Bradford end thought we had fukked it.
The previous season had been there on a Tuesday night a few days after a 0-3 loss at Ipswich.
Won 4-2 at Valley Parade, Paul Lake was a sensation.

More than a few. I was also in their kop in a group of a couple of hundred blues. The main stand was about half and half.

As we all piled on the pitch there was a big crush and I pulled out a lad who's eyes were screaming "hillsbrough"
