Do you remember ? (1 Viewer)

[Gaz71]

just spotted this on football flashbacks, from Easter 92.
Any memories from the team or stand out games from anyone?

Only 10 of that lot still in the top division, I suppose every dog has its day

 

[footyfrenzy]

I remember being at Villa park last day of the season and staying up by the skin of our teeth

 

[Bruce the Boot]

Tottenham last game of the season , kicking off late and surviving against all the odds !

 

[Bob Latchford]

Beating Stoke 0-1 , Luton 1-0 , Everton [Then Champions ] 4-1 to survive another season .

I won't mention the terrible trip to Cambridge Utd in the Cup (partly due to our coach going to Cambridge Citys ground by mistake, Lee Hursts awful deflected own goal and the Cambridge fans acting like morons) but a couple of other games stand out in my memory:

Elland Road, Leeds beat Cov 2-0 but the one incident I remember is Stewart Robson tackling David Batty in about the 80th minute from behind and injuring the Leeds player, taking him out of the final few games of Leeds Championship run.

Villa Park, last game. Villa score and most Cov fans in the ground (including thousands in the Holte End who decided to relocate to the Cov end by running the whole stretch of the pitch after 20 mins ) turn to their radios for news on the Notts County vs Luton game, the result would decide if we stayed up or not. Remaining 70 mins, and although Villa scored again, mixed messages mean Notts County have saved us or Luton have sent us down. Even the Villa fans were cheering randomly just to piss us off 90 mins, a loss but major sighs of relief.

Note: Although we stayed up thanks to Notts County beating Luton, they were relegated to Division 1. The following season 92-93, the Coventry City ballboys were given tracksuits to wear at games. The colours were black with white and gold trim. "Thanks Notts County"

We must have had one hell of a squad, according to this we were
Away at Villa

Away at Spurs
And
Home to Everton
All on the last day

 

[ccfcway]

all irrelevant.

Grendal would have us believe that if we get promoted this season SISU will have taken us to our highest league position in 50 years

This was the last season before the Premier League formed

 

[Brylowes]

This was the last season before the Premier League formed

And what ?

 

[Gaz71]

And what ?

Before the prem started you had to play 3 games on the last day of the season.?

 

[Rusty Trombone]

 

[Rusty Trombone]

According to the 11v11 website we used 4 goalkeepers in the 91/92 season, if you can name them all without cheating I will still accuse you of cheating.

 

[ccfcway]

Oggy, Sealy, Speedie, Stephen Hughes

(clearly the last 2 may not be right)

 

[ccfcway]

just googled it now, so wont give answer away, but imagine this load of signing in the prem these days

All from lower / non league

Date Pos Name From Fee
31 July 1991 FW Paul Furlong Enfield £130,000
16 August 1991 FW Peter Ndlovu Highlanders £10,000
23 August 1991 DF Peter Atherton Wigan Athletic £300,000
3 December 1991 MF Sean Flynn Halesowen Town £20,000
14 January 1992 DF David Busst Moor Green Free transfer

 

[Gaz71]

Ndlovu was a bit of a bargain, was one of the keepers Jonathan Gould ?

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Oggy, Sealy, Speedie, Stephen Hughes

(clearly the last 2 may not be right)

2 right, and should say proper keepers not players standing in.:cigar:

 

[Sick Boy]

Some of comments on this forum have indicated that more than a few members would see a promotion to the Championship as a far bigger achievement than staying in the top flight for 34 years.

Exactly. It's a lack of top 6 finish that's the reason for poor crowds apparantly.

Steve Sutton ? On loan from forest. Away at Wimbledon, a 1-0 loss if memory serves me right

 

[Brylowes]

Oggy sealey Filan Gould

 

[Brylowes]

Actually, did we have a keeper called Heald

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Nope, not Gould.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

That's one of them.

 

[Rusty Trombone]

Steve Sutton ? On loan from forest. Away at Wimbledon, a 1-0 loss if memory serves me right

Sutton was the year before, not that I remember, had to look it up.

 

[theferret]

We were terrible towards the end of that season, very lucky to stay up. Three games into the following season we were top of the PL. Felt sorry for Gould, had the rug pulled from under him in January. 14th was a false position in 92/93, although I recall we dropped about 4 places in the league courtesy of a last minute Leeds equaliser on the final day.

 

[Brylowes]

That's one of them.

Think that only stuck cos of the name

 

[Rusty Trombone]

So we had Oggy, Sealey for 2 games, Heald for 2 games. The other one played once, in the League Cup second leg away at Rochdale, we won 4:0 in the first leg, did anyone go to the away leg?

 

[theferret]

Dean Kiely?

 

[footyfrenzy]

Before the prem started you had to play 3 games on the last day of the season.?

I didn't say that, based on the original post the question was do you have any memories from that season and I stated that I was at Villa Park on the last day of the season which was correct

 

[footyfrenzy]

And what ?

Just making a point - what's your beef?
