So much hope and belief crushed into nothingness. And to think, that remains the peak of supporting City in my lifetime. Same, but 20y/o. Just wanted to get home asap.

Happy anniversary Trouble was due to playing I gave her May as the only month we could get married as WC was in 86. Was at both Hereford games & didn’t know whether to laugh or cry leaving the Gate. My old man said he was going to Wembley as I could always get married again but City would never get to Wembley again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the flack Owen gets on here for those penalty misses in 87, he must've had some talents as far as spot-kicks were concerned as England hired him as the penalty specialist coach for both the 1990 World Cup and 1996 Euros. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasty , honestly think Swindon fans have never been so scared in there lives , City every where outside ,firstly they wouldn’t come out then got to the rising sun and were penned in by city fans trying to get at them , never seen so many fans being friends with the coppers . Long as.k back to temple meads for them that day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
