31Dec1966 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I remember it well. As an eternal pessimist even I thought we were on our way to wembley after that never to be forgotten night at ewood park. Then the best right back in the world does that ! So relieved to see it bounce OFF the post. Phew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOWL Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Despite that lapse the word "legend" springs to mind on this occasion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I was having kittens at that stage but ultimately the result went the right way for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back Pass Roland Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Chris Woods fault 100%. Poor positioning and slow anticipation. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I'm not having that, there's no way it happened that quickly in real life! I was on the Kop and the whole thing happened in slow motion, it took an absolute age to hit the post after it went past Woods. I'm sure the bloke next to me went to the bog and it was still heading towards the goal when he came back. Same with Brunt's long-range goal at Leeds, it was in the air forever at the game, on video it looks normal. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 When I saw the title this is the thing I thought about. We used to be right in the top of the Kop at the South Stand end and saw it all the way. The goal by Hirst with the assist by Waddle in that game is right up there as one of my favourite Wednesday goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Just shows what a class player he was. No space down the right, so playing it off the far post like that gave Woods the perfect angle to release Phil King down the left. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scilly owl Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I remember that as clear as day. Roland was so classy that I think that he played it off the post on purpose to give Woods a better angle to play the ball out to Kingy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance McGraw Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Just trying to give them a glimmer after being absolutely swept off the park in the first leg. For a spell of about 20-25 in that game NO team would have lived with us . Probably the best I've ever seen us play. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably didn't expect a world class player to pass it 10 yards from him, on his own goal. (Sun played a part I think. I was on kop and it was a weird kick off time).

I was in the RAF at the time and had travelled 500 miles to be at the game. We blew em away didn't we. What a night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jack Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 It was lovely bit of skill , a one two with the post , Woods onto King and off on the attack we go. A lesson in how to play out from the back , Guardiola eat your heart out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Yes, after what was one of the most outstanding performances I’ve ever seen as a Wednesday fan in the first leg, I remember us looking rather nervous in the early stages of this game… until the legend that is David Hirst put the tie to bed.
