Guest Ferkorf Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Im not old enough to remember that but I remember going to wembley against Arsenal 3 times at 9 year old and never winning once.

Striggy Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 IIRC was driving down to Leicester in thick fog, with a risk of the game being called off. Exciting cup ties though, great spirit from the lads. "nobody told me there would be days like these!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Went to 4, missed Highbury. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal had everyone of their 'star' players play in every game. Magical days but reflects just how much football has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I was at uni in London at the time. Home for Christmas for Hillsborough. Back in the smoke for Highbury. Hitchhiked to Leicester for the last three. Arrived late and didn't get in to the last one. Got lifts back with Arsenal fans for two of them.

Mid Wicket Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Arsenal had some real top players then and we just would not lay down for them and made them fight for everything, great quote from Arsenal Manager 'Sheffield Wednesday showed their spirit and attitude' bit of that would be nice nowadays.

quinnssweetshop Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Cleared the pitch at Hillsborough for the first !! Though Steve Ellis's photo from the Kop of the snow clearing has me leaning on a shovel looking like I'm doing sod all !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lot would refuse to play and demand two weeks in the Maldives to recover at the shock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
