Luton Town 2-1 14th Sept 1991

Marshall put us 1-0 up with a sneaky header, only for Mick Harford to score x2 in the last minute, the winner being an overhead kick...........gutted.........!

I can't remember the line ups in 1959, but they always seemed to lose 1-0 at home.

Peter Phoenix and Kenny Chaytor spring to mind

I was at this match though, note the day of the week and strange kick off time before they had floodlights.

Whatever happened to the Cafe Monico?

Think mine was around 99/00. 6 of us from Failsworth who were United fans aged 14/15 went to a couple of games that season. All I can remember is a strikeforce of Mark Allott and Craig Dudley and Lomana Tresor Lua Lua ripping us a new one for Colchester and Sam Allardyce managing Notts County.

The players used to come out to Planet Perfecto - Bullet In The Gun. Looking back I think that was my primary reason for going as the Allott/Dudley strikeforce wasn't the greatest to watch!

Also explains why the following season I was the only one left still going.

1984-85 FA Cup 3rd round vs Brentford we won 2-1 and I haven't got a clue what the team was......I was in the Lookers Paddock with a free ticket given to the school, most of my peers were playing tig running up and down the terracing I was stood transfixed by the sights and sounds before me.....I pestered my Dad so much that he agreed to take me again and so a fan was born!

my first game was a freindly against city pre season 73 think it was Jimmy Frizzels testamonial can anyone confirm

 

Yes if it was Frizz's testimonial , it was played April 9th 1973- so towards the end of the season. City won 4-1

But we also played them in the pre-season following - Aug 11 1973 - and drew 2-2

ta pete think it may of been the later of the two as it was a delayed birthday present so the dates would fit can remember Colin Bell playing for city as he was the only one on the field i had ever heard of

Roger Palmer testimonal was mine. vaguely remember standing in the paddock.

Ha!!

Ditto.

 

Clinging onto the mesh of the fence of the Lookers paddock.

 

I can't remember much of it, but 1 thing sticks in my mind. Colin Hendry putting 3 successive balls over and out of the ground via the main stand roof from 3 successive thrown-ins...to cries of "donkey" from Latics fans.

 

I was hooked after that.

The team that day was:

Ogden

Wood

Whittle

Blair

Hicks

Bailey

McVitie

Garwood

Lochhead

Robins

Groves

 

Sub: Jones

Some side that. Remember it better than the Gillingham game last week! Whittle and Groves would take some beating as a left side combo despite our strength there over the years (Ryan / Atkinson and Barlow / Holden for example)

West Brom 3 Oldham 1 19th Nov 1994

 

Can't find the lineups so if anyone could help then that would be great!

 

The only things I remember are:

 

Thinking that the Hawthorns was HUGE!

Being in the main stand and not seeing any of the West Brom goals because everyone stood up seconds before it happened.
