Forest 1-0 City - had to google it (or i wouldnt sleep tonight)
Wonder if Clough was manager at the time?

Dibble was reasonably popular at the time and many were unhappy when Coton replaced him as no1 that summer. 12mths later he was down to 3rd choice with Margetson above him, should have left us then, he was far better than Margetson.

He would have been. He managed their FA Cup defeat in 91 vs Spurs.

Just imagine the furore had it happened to a certain team that plays in red.

Good old Andy Dibble, hope he’s doing well whatever he’s up to.

The Dibble incident spawned the now omnipresent habit of keepers checking over their shoulders when holding the ball in the box

As an aside I miss the D d d d d d Dibble Dibble Dibble Dibble Dibble song when coppers are encountered at games, not heard it for years. It would probably be categorised as a hate crime now I suppose.

Pretty sure, without googling it, that Shay Given (in his barcodes days) got done like that. Put the ball down to dribble it to the edge of the box before launching it. Never looked behind him, and an opposition player came from behind (Oo-err) him, robbed the ball and tapped it into the empty goal.

Was it against Spurs?

Don’t say that.
Lurking dippers will be looking through the archives as we speak.
Jan Molby should have got a the 4th corner via a deflection in front of the Kop against Wimbledon of a crowd of 23,538

Take a bow sir.
Can you remember the year & result without googling?

Kendall was manager, so I’d say early 1990.

I remember the MEN headline: Crafty Crosby sinks City
