My claim to fame; I saw Sammy McIlroy actually score there. And, even more remarkably, it was for us!

I seem to remember when we lost 4-3 Dickson etuhu played.whatever became of him.looked quite good that night

My memory is a 0-0 draw on a cold Sunday(!) morning in 85 ish iirc.
I should have gone to mass instead!

We played there on a Sunday in December 1986 but drew 2-2. The only 0-0 at Highfield Road in the 80s was a Saturday in 1980.

Cheers, must have been 86.
It was that cold and shite we spent most of the game hid behind the burger bar out of the elements, must have missed the goals!

Steve Redmond got both. I was in the open end and remember it being a bit nippy, or overcast, or just generally gloomy.
