Niall Quinn - Goal and Penalty Save 1991

[xgorton]

Yes think we did 2 or 3 - 1 if I remember correctly.

Won 2-1 then 3 days later 5-1 win at Villa.

 

[JGL07]

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.

You missed Matt Gray substituting for broken finger victim Harry Dowd in 1963.

Dowd returned with his arm in a sling and scored the equalising goal.

 

[Abattoir Blue]

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.

Loved both of those games as a kid on the Kippax. When I see the White goals v Scousers they still give me goosebumps.

Pretty sure we relegated 2 teams at home at the end of that 91/92 season as well; Notts County and West Ham.

They even debated the White 2nd goal, was it over the line or not on Granada reports the following night.

Miles over the line from my vantage point, about half way up the Kippax

I actually watched the highlights of that game last night on YouTube along with the 2-1 win when Reidy got the winner.

Ha!

I was down at the front by the railings and was max 5 ft at the time...but yeah, clear as day!

 

[David White]

One of my very favourite City memories. Perched on one of the crash barriers toward the top corner of the Kippax at the Platt Lane end as a 9 year old. Quinn was a great player for us and what a top save that was

Well I didn’t miss him out, I just listed the 70’s onwards lol but yes you are right.
Colin Bell scored for Bury on his debut too

And only 14,698 at MR to see it too...

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Was in the Kippax for that one.

I loved Quinny at the time. Shame he's turned into a bit of a twat since.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Interestingly, Martin Tyler commentated on the save and called it Stupendous.

Not that bad a crowd for the George Poyser era.

We absolutely battered them in the 2-1 win that Sunday afternoon.

Are some of us being proved right here on the Aguero goal debate?

Understood.
.
The big crowds that season were at Sunderland and Leeds..

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

It was near the end of the game as well, inside the last few minutes which made it even sweeter.

My 1st ever memory of a city game was us scoring in the first 10 minutes against Livarpool but it was disallowed. I was really scared when we scored because I was a small boy and the Kippax was a proper scrum and packed. I didn't even know it had been disallowed. Anyway David Fairclough the ginger striker came on with about 10 minutes left and scored their winner for them so its good getting evens from your memory of that game.

 

[The Colonel]

That got a right big cheer. I took the lead singer from the Irish band toss the feathers to that game as I was the drummer and he hadn't ever seen a live game him being from Ireland. He absolutely loved it when Niall Quinn saved the penalty.

Ah, well I know who you are now! And that was Eddy Sheehan.

Dare I open this can of worms?!

2 brilliant away performances, was there for both.
The Tues night win at Villa Park was just about the end for Dr Joseph Venglos who was sacked soon after iirc
The Sunday match at Villa Park was even more special as Villa were top of the league, going for the title ,we were near bottom. Right from kick off you could sense City were up for it, even when we went a goal down...we were up for it ,backed by a vociferous away crowd, we smelt blood . Will never forget the celebrations on the away terrace ,and Peter Reid got the winner right in front of us !.
