Gillingham v Manchester City 1999

Cracked the face of my watch when Dickov scored, it's since then been my 'lucky' watch....it stopped on the 13-05-2012 at 4.56.....the exact time of Aguero's goal....

Has anybody got a link to the full game on sky sports? I was on the TV that day as a young boy and would love to get a copy of it.

If you go on e bay you can get a dvd of the whole match. I got one about 3 years ago. Obviously not in HD but was only a couple of quid. Even came with a proper dvd case and cover.
 
Today, I've also started working on a radio documentary with all of the players in - it'll be going on Blue Moon Live on Imagine FM (104.9fm inside Manchester, bluemoonlive.co.uk -> listen live, outside Manchester) on the Sunday after the season finishes (9pm on the 18th May).

A must read for me as I've actually never seen the game. I've seen the goals of course, especially Dickovs, and Nicky Weavers celebrations hundreds of times but never the full match. 1999, I was working every Saturday and there wasn't even the strange mixture of kick off times that we have now so, apart from the odd evening kick off if I was able to get a ticket, I didn't get to many games. I can of course remember exactly where I was when I heard the news, I couldn't bring myself to watch it on TV and was on the 16th at Reddish Vale when a guy on the 15th started going crazy, jumping up and down and cheering.
As many have said, if not for that, then it's entirely likely that worrying about beating Everton on Saturday, wouldn't be an issue. Joe Royle deserves far more credit than he receives for his contribution to City, definitely no one better at getting a team promoted than Big Joe.

God is it 15 years - only feels like yesterday. That year in the third division has many happy memories. We were the freak show everywhere we went - the whole town at places like Colchester came out to see City. Helped me get up to 70 odd out of the 92 that season. Always liked David Chidlow's book of that great day. I'll defo buy this one.

Joe wrote the foreword to the book too. He's a delightfully lovely guy and gave me a lot of time to ask about that season, and he helped me get in touch with some of the team.

Really can't thank him enough.
 
Watched it in the Waldorf, left at 0-2 , was standing at the bus stop directly opposite feeling like shit heard massive cheers and rushed back for the rest, unbelievable Jeff!
 
It was the day of my daughters christening I had to watch it suit and tie after sneaking out 'a bit early'. Had it suffer the whole game next to rags in a unknown pub. I hope Mollie forgives me
 
Don't mind admitting that I was halfway down the steps to the concourse when Horlock scored. Ran back up and the next couple of minutes were just unbelievable and still brings a tear to my eyes thinking about it. Even though we went through ET and pens it just never crossed my mind for a second that we would lose after the Dickov goal. We were on a high and Gillingham were just utterly flattened. The last few mins of that game were the most incredible momentum shift I've ever seen in a game.
