Was 17 at the tlme, travelled up to Newcastle on the train from Victoria Station with my friend jed Ellis, we were in the leezes stand behind the goal, we did have 2 goals disallowed,, was nervy when mcnamee pulled one back for them with 5 minutes to go, great day, seems almost another world, still obsessed with city at 70 year's old as is my 45 year son Rob, both season ticket holders in the east stand, ktf!Torrential rain on the way home, due to poor visibility had to pull the car over. Our kids Ford Zephyr mk3, column change, must have guzzled the juice.
I was 13 at the time,went on my own and told my mum I was going with my mate and his dad, I was one of the kids off Langley on one of those coaches, I used to get the match bus from Langley to Maine Road and I was looked after by regulars off the buses at St James Park what fantastic day.Went on yelloways from Middleton most of Langley estate went a convoy of coaches made there way to Newcastle was stood outside the magpie pub and a older Blue came out and said were taking the leazes we all followed we had 25 thousand plus in the ground remember the peanut sellers straw basket going up in the air when we scored the first goal we just knew we were going to win what a day
