Was there in Munich. Still have the shakes remembering Eric McManussurprised some of the older fellas on here haven't mentioned Bayern Munich.
Yes, they were. Altho one sticks in my mind more than the other - the Dublin hat-trick game. Never saw a single goal tho as one of HM constabulary's finest (he must have been a rookie, first match duty an all that) decided to arrest me early doors, for the heinous crime of verbally suggesting where some misplaced Chelsea supporters sitting amongst us in the M&B stand should really be sitting.Those back-to-back, first game of the season, Chelsea matches were good though right?
Haha! I lived in Lahndahn Tahn at the time and I think Chelsea won the cup one of those seasons...might have been after? Anyway, the day of the cup final I decided to wear my cov top while walking through the west end. At one point I Essentially had a whole pub of Chelsea fans singing and jeering at me. Loved it!Yes, they were. Altho one sticks in my mind more than the other - the Dublin hat-trick game.

As I traipsed back down Gosford street from Little Park street after the game to catch up with my buddies at the Brewer & Baker, my inquiries as to the final score, directed at the Chelsea escort making their way up Gosford street, were not entirely met with the response I was expecting. (teeheehee!)
Mad cold march evening 1963 Sunderland F A cup gates closed and broken down .Suffered "The Blaydon Races" nearly all the evening but up popped Geo Curtis and Dietmar Bruck right at the end of the night to shout them up.
Wasn’t that Lee Burge’s debut?Everton 85 Bristol city 77

We were 3-2 down after being 2-0 up. In 52 years of watching the City I have never seen us come back from a three goal deficit. Brighton came back from three down to draw with us at Highfield Road and Forest from 4 down before losing 5-4 but in my time we have never done it.There were some great games for me Cov 5 Norwich 4 Dec 1977 after we went 3 nil down , first ever time I could not believe it
Was at Maine road that day getting through moss side on to a bus back into town trying not to let them hear us speak,Scary at the time but fun looking back now!!Now you mention Man City, who remembers the first game we played them after it kicked off at Maine Road? It was a night game and because of the trouble there was a tension in the air and Man City, as they always did, brought a shitload of fans!!
There was no trouble (that I saw) but the game was an absolute cracker that swung one way then the next and we ended up winning 4-3!!!
Nothing beat a good night game at HR!!
The Man City 4-3 was amazing. Thompson with a last minute winner. Brilliant.Coventry 4-3 Man City - 2001 was a cracker.
Coventry 2-0 (I think) Palace 2004 - Peter Reid’s first game... still laugh how “Eric Blacks sky blue army” morphed into “Peter Reid’s Sky Blue Army” mid song after we scored
7-0 Macclesfield in the FA Cup, think Huckerby got a hattrick. More a personal reasoning for the company I was with than the actual game.
6-2 v Derby
0-1- Sheffield Wesnesday 95... my first game, no idea how I became him hooked after that
Some of my favourite games
Sunderland singing 'The Blaydon races?' Thought that was Newcastle's?
Was there in Munich. Still have the shakes remembering Eric McManus
Was at Maine road that day getting through moss side on to a bus back into town trying not to let them hear us speak,Scary at the time but fun looking back now!!
The good old days!!!
The police often have a lot to answer for - That's why the IPCC and other similar bodies were set up.Yeah, I was there too. Thought the police had a lot to answer for that day.
Also, that 4-3! Was there for that. Didn’t they have Huckerby at the time? And Ali Benarbia (think that was his name).
