Goal three for me, but goal four settled the nerves and stopped them making a comeback.Gabriel said:

Typical City,we lost to Brentford midweek in League Cup if memory serves me well and then proceeded to shit all over a team assembled at a huge cost.
Since then have always been happier going into a derby in poor form for some reason.

Fantastic day. Morley's goal (2nd) was my favourite - it wasn't technically the greatest goal you will ever see but we hadn't finished celebrating the first, so the noise afterwards was as loud as I can remember it at Maine Road.

Biggest celebration of my sporting life. Kippax was still throbbing from the first goal, Lakey's shot saved by Leighton - huge surge forward and then Trev's tash pokes it in - cue scenes like I've never known - must have come up for air 40 yards from where I started

My favourite game of all time.
At half time I was just hoping that we could hold on - I was still traumatised by the 3-3 game against Bournemouth the previous season.
From where I was standing I thought Gary Fleming was MoM but this was not apparent from watching the video later - his best game in a City shirt though.
I loved that team and was upset when Kendall disassembled it for a bunch of Goodison old boys. Things might have been different if Machin had bought in some experienced heads (Peter Reid and Paul McGrath maybe) rather than wasting1 Million on Clive Allen.

If I'm fortunate enough to live a long life then those couple of minutes will always be on the highlights reel as I draw my last.
When I surfaced from the utter mayhem I realised I was in another part of the Kippax altogether.
An old bloke - no teeth and pushing eighty - gave me a big gummy grin, ruffled my hair and said 'Magic eh'.

I got married that day at 3pm, her side are all irish rags and was baiting me like fuck before the wedding. All my mates were at the game so i was pretty much on my own apart from my dad and the best man, a bury fan.
Got all the bollox out of the way and got the driver of the roller to put the match on the radio on the way to the reception. 2-0 up, buzzin but i`m keeping my powder dry just in case.
After the speeches people start to drift in for the night doo and tell me the result and then BOOM! all my mates come bursting through the door pissed out their heads singing "best team the land and all the world"
That was it! I thought fuck it and joined in.
Picture it, me suited and booted stood in front of twenty or so bladdered Blues singin to a room full of gobsmached rags! Waiting for fireworks but nothin, managed to calm my mates down and turned out to be a crackin night.
Gutted i missed it but turned out to be one of the best days of my life, Still married after 24 years because that day my wife wore a sky blue garter with my old skool pin badge on it, Just for me.
