Guest Garryswfcowl72 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Shrewsbury throwback. Mike Lyons & a young Nigel Pearson both brilliant Captain’s for me Lyons was just a bit better the sight of him running out of the tunnel every game & jumping up to head a Imaginary ball with his chest out ready for battle was a brilliant sight going in to battle a great signing by Big Jack . Big Nigel lifting our last major trophy chipping in with lots of goals injuries towards the end of his career was very unfortunate would loved to have seen him alongside Des Walker for longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warrior. I've a vague memory that the game he was covered in blood was at Wolves, the game when Bannister missed 2 penalties, but it can't have been, thinking about it surely we wouldn't have worn the yellow shirt there.

Warrior. This was an epic match, we were so close to beating the best team in Europe......with the mighty Walsall waiting for us in the semi final! Nearly 50,000 crammed into Hillsborough (only about 4,000 Liverpool fans) on a January evening was an immense sight, great atmosphere 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(They opened the turnstiles especially early due to the expected crowd size.) Watching the ground get fuller and fuller. It felt we were big time again even through still a Division 2 side. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the cups aren't what they were due to the attitude of the bigger clubs. However, those of us of a certain vintage will look back very fondly on many cup ties.....the Arsenal marathon in 79, Burnley in 83, Liverpool in 84, Chelsea in 91, Man Utd in 91, United in 93 to name but a few. What is it about night cup matches that makes them special? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Liverpool 2-2 was up there with the best atmospheres at Hillsborough ever experienced. That Liverpool side were as good as anything this country has produced. Burnley match special as was the 4-2 over Newcastle in the promotion season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
