NYTRAM Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Heard this earlier. I was there along with the other 9k. We filled the Anfield Road stand even over spilled into the Centenary Stand. I remember the large houses behind the stand over the road, they appear to have now gone. They weren't terraced houses either. Good memories, especially the Kop applauding our players. They were semi happy I recall as it was the final nail in Souness's coffin and was gone not long after. Brian Tinnion's goal is a thing of City history and will always be remembered as the real 'Purple and Lime' moment. I'll leave the phone in to others, but I can always say with pride, "I was there" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Orns Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I was there - a night we'll never forget. Not as good as Donowa vs the blue few, but it's up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 We got there , in a 7 seater hire car , at about 3pm. Pulled up at the gates of Anfield to ask the best place to park, the guy on the gate started opening them to let us in as he thought we were with Motd ! We didn't take advantage of him and found a spot away from the ground.Great day/night out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasure Red Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 What a night that was - bunked off school that afternoon. My mate drove and we parked close to the ground where a young scouse lad asked us for a few quid to keep an 'eye' on the car! We gave him a couple of quid and he winked saying the car will be fine now!! When I got back home Dad had left a note saying 'You have just witnessed one of the greatest victories of in the history of Bristol City Football Club ! Wake me up!! Happy Days!!

cidered abroad Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 One of many away days and simply just one of the best. Winning was great but the way we did it by playing good football made it very special. I've seen us win at many big clubs, Arsenal, Man U, W Ham, Villa but never encountered such a reaction by the Kop, and the rest of their supporters, at the end. That was was awesome. It proved that true football fans will always appreciate teams other than their own if the game is played correctly in the right way. So may the Spirit of Big John live forever at our Club.

BigAl&Toby Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 We were there. Someone behind us knelt down and wee'd in my brother's coat pocket. Walked back to the car - a red Mini - to find it being guarded by police. Drivers window was smashed and my Barbour "was missing" Had a police escort on the wrong side of the road to the local police station to complete the paperwork before a long cold drive home the following morning. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonsKev Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 As an 11 year old my father and I were sat in the Grandstand at Anfield with a Liverpool supporting family friend. Fearful for my dad to keep quiet. Was pretty clear we were city fans at the end, my old fella still recalls fondly having his hand shakes by numerous scousers.

glynriley Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Was on the coach that went from The Ship & Castle with 'Bristol Karate Club' emblazoned on the side (always handy!). That was a long day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Was on the London branch coach picked up on the A40. Got 13/2 in the ground paid for the trip almost. Straight to work with no kip the following morning. Buzzing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Couldn't make it for fiancé was rushed into hospital. Remember watching it in Bristol can't remember if was at colston hall or Whitchurch sports centre. But was one hell of an atmosphere in there.

OneCity Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 The thing that sticks in my mind was, where I was situated, we were all for some reason standing on the seats. When tinman scored the ensuing celebrations and kerfuffle had me fall ass over tit off that seat, resulting in a painful injury to my ankle. It didn't spoil anything though. Great night!

Jack Dawe Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 What a night that was. I was sat between Terry from Brookside (real name Brian) and the bassist from Frankie Goes To Hollywood, forget his name now. Brian thought we were "sound" but they were gutted when Tinman swept the ball home. I often ask myself, "did this ever happen?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I think Liverpool fans acknowledged that in all 3 games we were the better team, and obviously they were glad to get rid of Souness, After doing the article in the sun newspaper he was never going to get the fans back on side.

robin_unreliant Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I was there with my brother. He still ribs me about the fact that I was about 10 seconds behind everyone catapulting into the air when Tinman scored. It took that long to sink in and believe the lino wasn't gonna disallow it for some spurious reason. Second best away day ever after the Arsenal opener in the old First Division.

And rightly so. When I lived in Liverpool for a bit, plenty of Liverpool fans that I met remembered that game. Some even thanked me for helping to get rid of Souness. I was too young to be at the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
