It’s true, our title winning season is similar for me, mainly radio commentary mind as I’d often go home and put my earphones in and listen to the 5live commentary in bed. I can still hear the commentator now after the liverpool home game I think it was excitedly shout “there’re going to do it, they’re going to do it”

Really was a special night after years of shit, just after pleat. For me, the rise of Leicester, despite the odd bump, to the trophies and success we’ve had all started this season. Technically the football probably wasn’t as good as today but **** me it was exciting. One of favourite games ever! I was the mascot & it was the night I fell in love with City!! Great memories!! Can anyone name the 3 Cambridge players in there starting 11 who went on to play for us?!?! (Without cheating) !!

Would be great if with vr technology they could recreate nights like that put your vr set on and watch the match from where you want with all the old stands and sounds and sights, the bloke next to you screaming at you as we score the injury time winner. Wasn’t one of more popular chants to the away end, “You’re going home in a Leicester ambulance!”. Just a fence/mesh between them too.
SK3Blue Posted 26 June 2023 Posted 26 June 2023 What a night v Cambridge. They hammered us 5-1 in the league but over the course of the season we got to grips with their style of play, beat them in the run in, then held them in the 1st leg before the 5-0. I remember Grayson (I think) weaving through for the 2nd goal, ball rebounded to Tommo who made no mistake. The crowd surge in pen 3 as Grayson went on the run! Tommy Wright was sensational that night, who could forget John Beck ruffling Brian Littles hair post match and calling him a 'lacky grey haired barstard' on the Central TV highlights. 2

Foxmeister Posted 26 June 2023 Posted 26 June 2023 The worst game of football I've ever seen was an Anglo-Italian match against WBA circa 1993, I don't think there was a shot on target in the whole game, the nearest was an effort by Phil Gee that headed straight for me in a sparsely populated pen 3 and I inadvisably went to head it back, it knocked me off my feet and nearly unconscious. 1

If like me you started following City in the 80s it was incomprehensible that we would ever play at Wembley. 2

Of course, however I'm responding to @purpleronniepost above with a picture and reference to 3-3 which was the Tommo equaliser in the Swindon game.
woznotwos Posted 27 June 2023 Author Posted 27 June 2023 I went to the Blackburn game and the Swindon game. Then despite having tickets i missed the Derby game with bloody food poisoning. Parker Drive chinese van i curse you!!

Sorry, my bad. Tommo's goal is in the top 5 of my best moments following the club for 46 years. Sublime finish under massive pressure. 2

Sublime finish under massive pressure. Yes I don't think many of us thought Joachims goal would spark such a comeback but Swindon crumbled as quickly as we did, and Tommo took the equaliser very well. I was down at Oxford when he scored on his debut, another great goal.

One of my faves. Steve Thompson, little Cruyff turn in the centre circle, ping perfect crossfield pass to the winger. Repeat ad nauseum. Very cultured player.
