GrahamC Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Coventry 2 City 2, Sunderland relegated. What a night, as a 13 year old at the game (no school that day!) I knew it was a huge game, but only realised how big years later. What a bloody team, too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashton_fan Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 That season the best two fixtures were the first (the win at Arsenal) and the last, that Coventry game. Great games but totally different experiences, supreme confidence in the first, desperation in the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 The most memorable match i have ever attended in my life. I felt that it was all over, being 2 - 0 down at HT and not really in the game at that point. What an outcome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After trouble in the ground at WHL instigated by the home fans, and being played off the park by Hoddle et al, our last minute winner was most satisfying. As was the controversial penalty that saw us beat them at home and condemn them to the drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting a right kicking after the game on that rough old path that used to go from behind the EE out to Winterstoke Road past the bus garage. It was looking pretty grim until a few of our lads appeared on the scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that game, they brought absolutely loads, it was pretty scary all around the ground & we beat them 2-0 (Cormack with both). Pretty sure the game up there was the only top flight game played that day because England were playing (how times change) and Keith Fear slid in a late winner..

I missed the home game due to work commitments but went to White Hart Lane in what was a relegation clash at the time. I remember it was a dreadful game regarding the quality of football but we came into it the last 15 minutes and scored a bit of a lucky goal. It was on MOTD but don't think they showed very much of it. I remember Geoff Merrick was outstanding that day and kept us in the game. As a result Spurs went down and we stayed up.
