Niall Quinn - Goal and Penalty Save 1991

[Jesus2020]

Talking to a lad I work with who's genuinely interested in City before the takeover etc and ended up telling him about Niall Quinn. He says that's a bit before his time. Got onto remembering this and thought it deserved a share!

 

[Sheikh rattle and roll]

I remember he came and caught the ball from the resulting corner

 

[Cellarite]

Remember TC throwing his gloves at the ref before he went off.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Remember TC throwing his gloves at the ref before he went off.

He’d have got 3 extra games for that nowadays.

Whatever happened to those very muddy night football games?

Now pitches look beautiful and green.

Did they import some special grass from India where it's always green or something?

Top keeping by Quinn, a bloke that size narrowing the angle by being halfway to the 6 yard line by the time Saunders had struck it! One of many things from that era that sadly you wouldn't get away with these days.

I think this was the moment that made me become a City fan.
I was 8

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

We had a few outfield players going in nets in the 70's to 90's until keepers were allowed onto the bench

Mike Doyle (twice)
Bobby MacDonald
Tommy Booth
Steve Redmond
Nigel Gleghorn (twice)
Niall Quinn

The last outfield player to do so was Kyle Walker away at Atalanta - after Ederson went off injured at half time and then replacement Claudio Bravo was sent off.

I remember the save and Quinn scoring but don’t remember the final result did we win that game ?
