Yaya away , can’t remember who we played but we had the white kit on with the sash. He cut in from the left and bent it in to the top right corner.
Nasri scored a cracker too , think it was against Roma away . Top left hand corner

When the Roof came off

Tony Towers’ late winner against Academica de Coimbra, Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-final second leg 1970.. It was 0-0 on aggregate and they had kicked us relentlessly for two games.. we pressed and pressed but couldn’t break them down.. then the ball went loose just outside the box and Tony thundered a shot that flew in.. the roof came off Maine Road that night.. we were into our first European semi-final!

Sergio away at Napoli, think he broke the scoring record that night.

I was in the Platt Lane that night and I reckon he was near the penalty spot when he hit it. It certainly sparked some wild celebrations. ;-)

That brings back plenty of memories, i was 13 at the time and just making my way down the steps of the Platt Lane when he scored. I think he left years later going to Sunderland.

Alan Oakes long-range belter against Bilbao in 69/70 deserves a mention too.

You probably had a better view than us paupers heaving in the Kippax, sitting there in the posh seats (!!) ‘rattling yer jewellery’ as someone once put it..! The Alan Oakes goal you mention was another cracker, went in like an Exocet, similar to Tony Towers’ in that it finally broke down Bilbao well into the second half (and I always picture Alan Oakes looking like he had telephone directories for shin pads!) And we scored some great goals against Schalke in the semi-final 2nd Leg.. I remember ‘Nelly’ Young thumping one in with his left after we carved Schalke open.. ‘Eeee, ‘appy days!
