Wigan FA Cup Final - absolutely ruined my honeymoon it did! We’d been in Egypt 2 days and after that shit show I had a face like a slapped arse for the rest of the 2 weeks.
I was in Egypt for this.. not a good day!

One that was a kick in the bollocks was a 4th round FA cup tie against Watford,, the year escapes me late 80s I think. We were one nil up when Watford got a dodgy penalty, match finished 1 1. Drew the replay down there and lost the 2nd replay at Maine Rd. We would have played Bury had we won, one of the many times I thought it wold be our year in the cup yet again I wasvwrong.The day after the Champions League final.
Perfect weather on the Sunday, Bank Holiday on the Monday. Would have been perfect for partying all day and welcoming the team and trophy back to Manchester. Instead it was numb.
Why, were they trying to flirt with the locals?Halifax away in the cup.
Never seen so many people leaving a ground with sheepish looks on their faces.
I missed that game as I was dragged away to a camping weekend in Anglesey. The back of my seat in I Block was ripped off and not fixed for at least a couple of years.Was like a day out at the flower show compared to the Friday night game in ‘84.
