24 Years Ago Today...

Nice little distraction from the derby build up and Mowbray in/out debates. I believe today marks 24 years since we beat Chelsea 4-1 at the Stadium of Light in the 99/00 season to go 4th in the table, 2pts behind Man United and 4 off Leeds in top spot. I was only about 7 or 8 at the time and so I kind of assumed that would be the norm moving forward... :(

Any memories of the day?
 
Walked away from my job in one of the kiosks that day. Escorted from the ground to make sure I didn't wander off to watch the match.
 
It was amazing at half time people in disbelief. I also had the misfortune to speak to a group of Chelsea fans in Wetherspoons afterwards, I mentioned the fact how disappointed I had been with Hasslebank, the response "What do you expect he is a facking N****R"

Fabulous day to be alive that was
 
Still possibly me favourite ever game and one of my earliest memories, that Phillips goal aswell , and that first half was the best first half of football I’ve ever seen us play
