Still remains my favourite ever derby that I attended.

Mel's marvels 5 fergies wallet 1.

Had the date as my code on the house alarm until I left the Manchester area, used to give me a lift when times were harder than they are now every time I put it in. (Oo-er).

The 3-1 when neville fed the goat wasn't a bad one either
 
I know it’s been mentioned many times already, but here really was no excuse for the rags to lose by any score, let alone 5-1, to us back in '89, considering the cost of the respective squads, the fact that we were a newly promoted team, the years of experience in the rags' team, compared to our XI, which included five, still young, graduates from our youth policy, the pisscan's years of experience in managing, in contrast to Mel Machin, who was in his first job as a manager / head coach.

But the lads played out of their skins that day, and you could see how much it meant to them, especially Paul Lake, who had a fantastic game and was MotM.

A brilliant day all round.

Brilliant performance.

I’d forgotten about Paddy Roach, one of a long line of dodgy rags goalkeepers.

Stepney, Bailey, Bartez, and right up to date with Onana.

I’m not convinced that Bayindir is any better, though obviously, we haven’t seen him of him yet.

I'm shocked outraged and amazed that Massimo taibi has been left off this list of legerdemain.

To say nothing of Slippery Jim Leighton!


Standards, Vienna, standards ;-)))

The buses refused to go to Maine Road that night as there had been some mither on the buses after the 2-2 in the league a couple of months before.

We walked all the way there from Ordsall - seemed to take ages to get there.
Hardly noticed the walk back!

I had just turned 11 in the October, think it was Mansfield in the next round and they at least managed two against us!
