I queued over 24 hours for that derby. Went straight to work in Whalley Range after getting my ticket. Think we lost 2-1.That derby was in December 1992 (first season of the PL) when the swamp was under a lot of redevelopment and capacity was just over 30k. The away allocation was a few hundred tickets and the rags got round that by the dubious means of the old safety/segregation loophole.
I think it was possibly Cantona’s debut but I certainly don’t tax my brain by asking it to store rags trivia so that may be well be wrong.
