I was there when..... (1 Viewer)

[Terry_dactyl]

He did, before us. Had a strange career he did, League Cup final appearance too, top flight after us with Derby... but career was done and dusted at a pretty young age really!

Not a winger, a left midfielder? Im pretty sure Derby paid us quite a bit for him. £750k - £1mil. Part of an earlier Derby splurge…think they bought John Gregory etc too?
When I think back I’m not quite sure what he did. However, cup winner ergo Cov Legend. seem to remember him scoring the winner vs Liverpool one year. Stood in the kop and the Liverpool fans started throwing stones at us.

I was there - At Ewood park on a windy rainswept evening in early 1993, when we rammed 5lives outrageous and biased favouritism towards Blackburn, well and truly back up their own hoop.

I was there when Moldovan missed "That" chance against Sheffield United.

 

[Porkchophill]

I was there when against all the odds we stayed up against spurs at WHL and condemned Sunderland again

 

[Johnnythespider]

I was there when Sonia sang at half time and got pelters from both sets of fans, welcome to sky football.

I was there (somebody please tell me they were too) when the away fans were put in that pen in the Spion Kop (nearest the main stand). I'm 90% plus sure it was against Everton and there was a mass snowball fight on the kop. May have been late 70s, possibly early 80s (I have a book somewhere that ought to help me pin it down!) I've mentioned it before on here, but don't think I have seen anyone else recall it!

It was Everton, and it was a random snowball fight until their lot got organised, and all let loose at once, and we got carpet bombed by snowballs

 

[olderskyblue]

I was there when my son scored 2 goals at Highfield Road.

it was half time, and he was in a penalty shoot out with his school

 

[The Great Eastern]

I was there at Luton (away) when Stuart Pearce scored a remarkable own goal with a diving header. Probably on par with Keith Houchens at Wembley Think it was his 2nd or 3rd game for us after signing from Wealdstone. We went on to win the game 4-2 !

 

[Mcbean]

I was there when the lady linesman took over from the referee as he was injured - she did a great job !

 

[skybluelee]

Was anybody here at the Millwall FMC game in 85/86, our lowest post-war attendance in Cov of about 1,500?

Edit: probably not the lowest anymore given the number of JPT matches we've played recently.

 

[skyblue1991]

I was there when we drew 0-0 to a bunch of 17 year olds in Bolton with three of our goals ruled out

How the referee and linesman in that match weren’t investigated heaven knows.

I was there at Bolton one year that was the coldest I've ever been at a game
We won with a late Salako penalty iirc

No but I remember going to some matches at Plough Lane against Wimbledon which were some of the lowest ever top league attendances.

 

[tbh444]

I was there when Chelsea turned up in our away kit, remember it being midweek, wet and they hardly had any fans. Comfortably beat them as was normal in those days (paul williams goal?) and le bouef spat (or stamped) on the kit at full time

 

[Leamington Pete]

I was at Upton Park when Harry scored. Not many can say that as our away following totalled about 200!

 

[Hutch11]

I was there at Leeds in the very early 80s , we drew 0-0 and there was about 20 of us or so it seemed

 

[Williescar]

I was there Highfield Road March 72 when the match v Sheffield United was abandoned

I was there at MK Dons away (the Hockey Stadium) We won about 3-1, but it was so cold that when we scored, most of our fans were too cold to do much more than shiver a bit more than they already were. Took me hours to defrost after that game!

Yes losing 0-2 if I remember correct but won the replayed fixture, I think 2-0 and I’m also sure it was a season we stayed up by the skin of our teeth.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

I was there on the station at Chesterfield when Tim Fisher got a roasting by a group of our vans (gutted I never appeared on the video of it, but refused to give up my place on the bench for 5 seconds of 'fame') !

I was there that day too!

Remember it well
Believe they were still calling themselves Wimbledon that season despite being in MK. Wholly bizarre & should never have been allowed to happen.

Off the top of my head, only the Withdean Stadium in Brighton was probably a worse experience.

Amy The only time I can say a ref was 100% giving decisions our way

[DannyThomas_1981]

I was there when we played Wimbledon around 1992 at Selhurst Park - third lowest ever Premier league attendance at a little over 3,000. #Hero.

Their fans sang " 1-0......and we're in your kit"

 

[oscillatewildly]

I was there - At Hillsborough on a Monday evening in December '95 to witness Dion score a hat trick to reward us a.... 4-3 defeat.

And radio 5 live or whatever it was at the time said they felt sorry for the 49 Coventry fans who had made the trip. You being one of course
