Seventeen years ago today...

I can confirm I was there. Probably just landing in York about now to start a long piss up, as its my birthday. Drinking in a pub that was ambushed by Leeds fans. Ended up with me and a mate trying to steal a rowing boat at about 8pm as we'd decided we were going to row back to Manchester. We were dragged back to the river bank by a couple of sensible and sympathetic York fans
 
I was there.

Didn't miss a game home and away that season.

You lucky git! I had to drive there on my tod so I couldn't even dull the pain with alcohol! Happy Birthday btw. ;-)
 
I remember sitting at the breakfast table in the B&B the next morning looking at the league table in the paper and thinking "we might even get relegated again here if we're not careful"
 
Forgive me for my gloryhuntingness but I only started following city in 2000. Ive done most of my homework on the history but what was the significance of this game?
