21 years ago, a Sunday away day cracker.... as WBA

[Luna17]

..... are put to the sword after leading 2 nil thru that twat Lee Hughes with his annoying dance.

A h/t rocket from Saxo obvly got the lads going and we came blazing back culminating in Bally blasting a late winner.

Scenes in the Ivy House man
!!!!

Don't recall who got the other 2.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Bridges and Melville iirc

Bridges was as crisp a finish and strike as you'd see

Scenes at The Hawthornes was a great win, I had to walk right through their lot on the way out, was trying to curb my enthusiasm))

I watched it in a pub in Wath, going on like a complete loon all by myself when Bally scored. I’d been to watch Sheff Utd v Barnsley the day before in the pissing down rain .

 

[Stortford]

Was there with my best mate, was telling him at half time that I had read somewhere odds on a comeback win from 2-0 was something like 200-1. Shame there was no online betting back then.

Limbs everywhere when Bally hit the winner

Was a strange one this for me, my mate knew an old bloke who went to away games and could get us to the game via train for a fiver each because of some pass he had. So off I went as a 14 year old with my even younger mate and some 70 year old bloke I’d never met who promised to get me to the game and back for a fiver and me ma let me gan hahaha, different times even back then.

What an abortion of a thead.

 

[Luna17]

Was great seeing Hughes' face when Bally smashed the winner, smug little bassa

 

[halfman]

Bridges and Melville iirc

This. I seem to have some vague random memory of that game, of Allan Johnston on the floor second half and still trying to block the ball with his head?

 

[Shusssh]

Watched the first half in the old Sloanes snooker club and the second half in Chaplins and was convinced it was the change of venue that swung it for us, I watched the next few televised Sunderland matches in there
Chaplins was rammed and the back of my shirt took a full pint of diesel when Bally scored.
Can't believe that was 21 years ago.

Indeed that mate! But still what an adventure!

As you say, times have changed. Mind you could easily have ended up down the arsenal instead!
