Niall Quinn - Goal and Penalty Save 1991

[The Stockport Iniesta]

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

Won 2-1.

The result relegated Derby, we also relegated Sunderland in the next home game.

Saunders who missed the penalty, signed for Liverpool along with Mark Wright in pre season. We played Liverpool at home the first home game of the season won 2-1 again with Saunders missing another penalty at the Platt Lane end.

What the heck is that? Those indoor plant growing lights used outdoors?

He used to go in goal in training, and bet players they couldn't score a certain amount of pens against him. Think it was 4 out of 5 but I might be wrong on that. I remember Clive Allen talking about it.

I don't remember the Villa one was it home or away?

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?

It wasn’t a night game. It was 3 o’clock on a Saturday afternoon right at the end of the season as I recall. I think Derby may already have been down. I was sporting a full length plaster cast (broken leg) and had to make the missus drive to the game with me sat sideways across the back seat. She had the hump even more after the match, cos PC Plod came along after we’d parked, slapped a load of cones down and ticketed the whole street. Cnuts

Not found the video of it yet, but it was this match.

The Liverpool miss hit the bar, the Villa one he put wide of the left hand post (from what I remember).

Looking at the report, he came on as sub in the 71st min and then missed the pen in the 82nd. Finished 0-0.

I was at that Villa Game. Alan Kernaghan got smacked dead on in the face by a snowball emanating from the away end

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!

It's even better because it's Dean Saunders who took the penalty.
