Niall Quinn - Goal and Penalty Save 1991

[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.

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

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

Not that bad a crowd for the George Poyser era.

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

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..

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.

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 !.
