Sambo89 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 The Watford game (if I'm getting my memories right) had one of the greatest tannoy announcements ever. "Will the people on the kop, doing the conga, please return to their seats". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song about Terry Yorath and his magic hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Wasn't the Bury game before the season actually started? Sunderland game was day after 9/11 and had wonder goals from DiPiedi and Bonvin. Villa away was amazing, we took thousands and thousands. Can remember a 39 year old Mark Hughes lining up in midfield for Blackburn, that seemed like an age - now I am 43.

Whitechapel Owl Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Great memories, went to every game. Some unbelievable goals in that run. Hamshaw's and Di Piedi's the best two goals I've seen live. Great night at Villa, remember being terrified every time Ginola got the ball when he came on, what a player. Also remember Blackburn rocking up with new signing Andy Cole, I was really annoyed they'd got him before we played them. Blackburn away was a really bad tempered away end, didn't enjoy that night. Great run up until then though. Edited July 2, 2022 by Whitechapel Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musingowl Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 That Watford game was mad, we could barely win a throw in in the League, but we turned into Barcelona that night. Congas on the Kop, Hamshaw with what is still the best goal I've ever witnessed in person. Brilliant night. I remember being really deflated after the Blackburn home leg, like we'd let ourselves down, bit dramatic of my 10 year old self. Cracking programme cover if I remember correctly. Side note, my brother went to Villa Park, I wasn't allowed. We've won there in 3 out of our last 4 visits, guess which one I did go to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_owl Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Went to the away game at Villa with very little expectation of winning but we played well and whilst we rode our luck at times a Villa mate of mine that was at the game had no complaints at our win. Ekoku was excellent that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaping Lannys Perm Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Weirdly my strongest memories are not from the games I attended, but bits I saw on TV. Firstly the highlights programme for whatever round we played Villa. Gabby Logan blatantly showing bias to us when presenting saying something like: "Next up a brilliant win for Sheffield Wednesday. We it was only 1-0, but Dad was pleased!" For some reason that always stuck in my head. It is rare you see that sort of tongue in cheek favouritism. Also the away leg of the semi vs Blackburn. Struggling to find a pub with it on whilst at Uni in Lincoln. Ended up in the Turks Head on Newport. Turned out it was a Leeds supporters club and it was made clear we weren't particularly welcome. Still stayed to watch it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando_Trustful Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Glory years. I remember leaving school early to get the coach to both Villa and Blackburn away. It got pretty tasty at Blackburn I seem to remember too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOWL Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Feature on the Watford game from the match day programme v Norwich City on Saturday 29th December 2001. We were a tad unfortunate that day with Norwich bagging five extremely lucky goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 The Blackburn away game was very bad tempered, caused mainly by the robo cop police lining up in front of the fans. Tbf Blackburn had a good side at the time and went on to beat Spurs in the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
