Yeah that was the crucial win in the final reckoning. Easter Monday as I recall? The goal is on Youtube - the terraces were rocking

Don't think it was Monday did we draw at home on the Monday Oldham ? Before the Charlton game not done the research but Great day's the night finished in the star of India same as Bradford 89
 
Get well soon Paul, I forgive you for doing that jig in front of the City fans as Oxford went 2-0 up in a must win promotion game, City came from 2 down at HT to win 4-2. In all seriousness Paul, get well mate, blues are rooting for you.

Paul Simpson, you are so well liked and when you read all the fine tributes to yourself and the many many fond memories we as City supporters cherish of your good self. you're not alone and we are here so remember that and good luck with your battle cos as we've seen you can win our friend. You only need to look at what you have produced at the present moment with the current England team and although as in most things we don't get too many plaudits as the Maine team in England you well helped in so many of this current crop of southgates without any acknowledgment and being a top. humble and quiet guy it ain't happening. Don't think people realise how many were your prodergys. Was there v germany on tuesday and thought of everyone in the City family too many good people to mention on and off the pitch who have left since covid. My Dad in April died and King Colin Bell just before. Will be there v Denmark and got one for Sunday. Good luck Paul, there was a pivotal moment in my life when I was at the match on the Kippax and you were the first player who was younger than me and that was weird but ace. All the best Simmo was at Pompey away, Charlton .....

Remember Him coming down to Fog Lane Park and taking training with my team at Beaver Road school 35 years ago! He gave us a load of JD sports key rings. Has a great career in the game. I hope he fights it well and is healthy again soon.

He lived on the wimpey and barratt estate off Burnage lane. Next to the old Renold Chain factory.

my dad worked at Reynolds for years. Can’t picture the estate you refer. I remember him living in digs with Perry Suckling on kings way.

Drew 0-0 with Oldham at home. Andy May sent off and someone in the Main Stand threw a pie at the ref!

Thanks for that. Absolute bedlam in both ends. Proper little ground, packed to the rafters with passionate fans.
Great goal from Simmo, superb lob. Get well soon. We're all rooting for you.

During the Cheesy interview Simmo mentioned some fans had gotten into the dressing room at half time against Notts County wanting to remonstrate with the players. We were 3-0 down. Made me laugh. They must've been livid. Apparently big Mick McCarthy was the only one interested in arguing with them. Be interesting to see of any bluemooners know about this incident or had friends involved.
 
Loved watching Simmo haring down the wing. He was brilliant in the 84-85 run in and was decent for us back in top flight. Scored a great free kick winner to beat Wednesday 1-0 on Boxing Day 86 (Perry Suckling literally msde 10 rip saves that day too). Simmo was unplay3at times part3the 10-1 v Huddersfield. Sold too soon as well.

All the very best Simmo for a full and speedy recovery.

That ref was Peter Willis. A couple of weeks later he sent off Kevin Moran in the cup final

my uncle knew Willis somehow and I remember him telling me that Willis had been bragging to whoever would listen that he was going to be the first ever ref to give a red card in an fa cup final
