When we were crap....your favourite matches

The 2nd leg of the play off vs Wigan at Maine Road in 99. I was sat behind the goal in the North stand, the Goat deffo handled the ball into the net. It stood and I was in disbelief that City would actually play at Wembley in a final, loved the pitch invasion at the end, was lay in the centre circle taking it all in.

Then after the elation of reaching a final came a weekend of being in a line round the ground to get a ticket.

October 1987 away to Swindon Town. I took my Army mate who was a Leeds fan to the County Ground, Swindon. Bananas everywhere, great game we won 3 - 4. Paul Simpson and Imre Varadi were bang on that day. We nearly got filled in by 30 Swindon fans, I had parked my car in a dodgy area and we had to head toward the gang to get to it. Great game, shitty roundabouts!!

Remember that day, missed the previous away game at Bradford due to starting a new job so it was the first time I saw us win away after about 2 and a half seasons of travelling

One of my faves, more so now - as we knew how to take a penalty back then ...

hahaha yep

and still getting done over by a dodgy referee in goals being crossed out ? asa hartford goal is still a puzzle to me why the referee crossed if off

Another one I remember well was Leicester home 1987, won 4-2

But remember Lakey swallowed his tongue and was stretchered off

He was ok however,Anyone Recall it?

Yeah I was there. Looked a normal injury at first and then I remember seeing his legs convulsing and the whole crowd screaming for a doctor to get on the pitch. Really strange atmosphere after that and poor half ended 0 0.

There was an announcement at half time that he was ok abd it then settled to a normal game. Pretty sure Morley got a hat trick in the second half and everyone was shocked as he was the crowds booo boy at the time.

Fulham away 3-0 loss. Friday night on Sky Div 2. The turnout was fantastic. Made me really proud to be a blue that night despite the shit result.

Oldham away in 84. 2-0 win. My first away with mates rather than dad. Huddersfield away 2-0 win same season and Blackburn away 1-0. I loved that season 84/85.

Swindon away 87/88 season (I think) won 4-3 pissing down.

Is that the game Tschdadze got injured after scoring in first couple of games...never to be seen in lazer blue again?
