Mattredrobin Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was only 8 when this happened although not at the game, But I will never forget being able to listen to the game on the radio in my bedroom and running down the stairs and jumping into my dads arms with us both cheering when tins scored that goal had the city bug ever since. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 29 years! Wow! Seems like yesterday! What an evening that was.....seem to remember Junior missing some chances but christ, we worked hard, played as a team and took it to Liverpool when we could. The Kop stayed and applauded us off, will never forget that. Class. #legend #tinman 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was 6… and I remember waking up in the morning to a note next to my bed saying ‘Liverpool 0 City 1’. Even at that age I remember being so excited about it all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Jeez………..where have 29 years gone? I was working and watched the game at the old Whitchurch sports centre. Edited January 25, 2023 by Robbored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 29 years ago... gosh. I was listening to the match on the car radio of a my best mates mum's ford sierra, coming back from gang show rehearsals at the hippodrome. Full of tab clear and shouting at pedestrians out the car window... Had to pull over when we scored! What a time to be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 The first match at AG is mainly forgotten about but was also a good performance. It had to be played twice as the first match was halted by floodlight failure. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midlands Robin Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was on a military training exercise in the Black Mountains that night and had no access to a radio or TV. The following morning one of the instructors mentioned at breakfast that Liverpool had been knocked out of the FA Cup. Suffice to say I was more than happy. On the coach on the way back to Portsmouth on the Friday we stopped at a service station and I bought a paper with all the headlines on the sports pages reading that Souness had been sacked. I'd been able to get to the Wolves game to get a voucher for the home game but couldn't then make it to the first match, the replay of that one or the away replay, all thanks to being away with the Royal Navy. I did make it to the 5th round match against Charlton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was 10 and remember being picked up from primary school before lunch to go on my first away trip. I’ll never forget the ovation the Kop gave City that night, nor the huge following we took up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattWSM Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Remember the pubs was like walking into college tavern and horn n trumpet, packed with City fans, think it was 8k or 9k there that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Thanks so much for posting this, great memories. I have to say that the level of finishing from both sides..........was truly appalling!........especially Junior? Though Tinman's was the exception, as he tucked it away brilliantly. Great Night....................never to be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) I was at home, listening on the radio in Oxford, all on my jack. I went 'Ken Mental when we scored, then felt all alone with no-one to share it with. Mind you, I do still claim credit for being the first person to spark up their lighter at AG when the floodlights failed...

Wanderingred Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 I was at both the home games, but wasn’t allowed to go to the replay as I was 10 years old, and my dad wanted to go on the lash in Liverpool. It’s funny how both home games were similar, with Allison scoring to make it 1-1 and (I think) Ian Rush getting the Liverpool goals in both games? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Amazing night. I loved visiting Anfield and it was brilliant to get the win there. After Tinman had scored the minutes ticked by very, very slowly. Fantastic scenes when the goal went in and at the end of the game. 29 years ago. Blimey. I feel old.

The Gasbuster Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 Incredible night, fantastic atmosphere created by the 8,000 odd of us. As a club, we have been starved of occasions like this. Hopefully, one day , we can play Liverpool at least twice a season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point of curiosity: did you really have to pay to see the 2nd game if had ticket for first (as commentator said) even at reduced prices? Seems crazy to me. Or have i misunderstood that ?

Same here: the first game was the same day as my best friends birthday party , i was fuming my dad made me go to the party. Needless to say i sat in the corner listening to radio the whole of first game ... Anfield i just remember listening at home with my dad, going absolutely crazy twice.
