The Steve Coppell/Phil Neal months

[GSW Blue]

Remember being at Barnsley (rather than Barbados) and a mate launched one of their shite pies at Neal.

I seem to remember him putting pressure on Lee to either back him or sack him just before he was sacked!

That Barnsley game is one of my favourite away games, must be a masochist.

We got battered. By Barnsley. In the snow. With no roof. With Gerry Creaney up front. No hot food or drinks left. Police taking lumps out of anyone that breathed and Franny was giving interviews from a sun lounger in Barbados.

Games like that put hairs on your chest. Maybe Coppell would like that?

Mystifies me why anyone wants to recall this at all.
