As glory nights at Hillsborough go there haven't been many to rival this. #OnThsDay in 1991 it was PROMOTION for #swfc as 2 goals from @hirstyd & one from TF saw a 3-1 win vs @BristolCity Att 31,706 Good to see @SheffieldStar were asking inane questions even back then #UTO

That night and Chelsea in Semi are my favourite games attended as an 11 at the time I thought we were going to conquer the world.

I was in a hotel at Heathrow airport watching and waiting for CEEFAX to update

I was in the RAF at the time. I remember listening to the live commentary on Radio 5 in the barracks whilst ironing my kit. Great memories.

I remember the teddy cascade on the kop as the teams came out

It was a nervy evening at first. As I recall a point would have made it unlikely that Notts C - yes, Notts C - would catch us because of the GD. A win sealed it. A loss and we had a tricky game at already-promoted Oldham - yes, Oldham.

 

For all that we look back on that team and season with such fondness, we quite frequently produced insipid home performances where we never got going, or only played one half. We didn't lose many (just one?) but we drew far more than we should have done. 

 

But that night we were superb. The 15 minutes after half time with waves of attack sweeping down towards the Kop are a memory for a lifetime
