I was listening to Radio Two, though the BBC’s commentary that day was the Scouse derby. The first time they went to Stuart Hall, it was already 2-0, and that was followed closely by the players leaving the pitch, while the police evicted shithouses from the Kippax.
The next thing was, "There’s been another goal at Maine Road". I was expecting one for the rags, but of course, it was Bish's great header. I couldn’t believe it I spent the rest of the match - and the next week - in dreamland. It was a fantastic feeling.
If City supporters had been told pre-game you can win 5-1, but it will be 13 years before you beat them again, I reckon most would have taken it.
