Well… But…. That could be…

30 years today:

 

I can still remember walking up Wembley Way. 

I can still remember ripping up the newspaper to use as confetti.

I can still remember Super Stevie Claridge reverberating around the concourse before the match. 

I can still remember spotting people I knew from school. 

I can still remember the slightly obstructed view from behind the stanchion. 

I can still remember the blue and while balloons.

I can still remember the people sitting around me. 

I can still remember time standing still as that ball was in the air.

I can still remember the ****ing ROAR when it went in.

I can still remember getting home to watch the whole thing again on VHS recorded off the telly.
I can still remember every line of commentary. 

 

Easily, one of the greatest days of my childhood and as a Leicester City fan.

Watching that on DVDs as a kid I was convinced the commentary was added in after because it sounds so strange.

 

Think watching it back now he just didn't expect it to go in.

I was at the palace game .. great day 😀 

[AyewJoking]

watching on TV holding a 2 pence piece in my hand for the whole game as was convinced it was a lucky charm

I was at wembley, only time I remember time standing still after claridge hit it then 40,000 city fans going mental.

It was disbelief, I think.

 

Time really did seem to stand still.

 

Then it went batshit bonkers and I ended up quite a distance from where I'd been before Claridge hit it.  

 

A great day.

I was looking at Kalac at the other end of the pitch then looked back at the action to just see the ball floating through the air into the net. 

[DoveValleyFox]

He has an incredible right shin on him that Claridge lad.

[dayday]

We throughly deserved to win that , I was stood behind the goal , could see it going straight in 

 

Happy Days 

[Soar Fox]

Steve Walsh’s tackle on David Hopkins 

[Andrew]

Last minute winner and behind the goal when it went in. Probably the greatest moment in an City game ever.

30 years ago but I remember it clearer and everything about the whole day more than any match in the last 5 years.

I asked the woman next to me who scored and she said “we did”😁

[Spudulike]

My Dad was having an altercation with a bloke in front about his massive flag obstructing his view. A frank exchange of opinions at various stages which I dismissed as nerves and tension. 

 

During the goal celebration he was hugging and jumping up and down with flag bloke. Best mates by the end 

[ealingfox]

Now they're winning European trophies and we're in League One staring into oblivion with half our fans cheering on our wanton destruction.

I’d take Neil Lennon in a heartbeat as gaffer - did so well with Dunfermline this year and he is a proper double hard b”stard

Did you go to the game on coach one?

I drove a little crappy Citroen hatchback old banger thing that leaned to one side. Had streamer ribbons and all sorts on it. Got us there and back though.

She was setting the foundations for future happy clappers to come.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I was there and it was my 10th birthday. I wish I remembered half as much as you @urban.spaceman as I recall almost nothing! 😢 

[Spudulike]

The best performance from a defensive midfielder that day stopping every Palace counter as we pushed for an equalizer. Lennon was at Kante level.

[Fox92]

Claridge is the scorer of two of the most important goals in our history. Always overlooked in conversations but he's a legend for those goals.

[Officer Doofy]

Thing I remember clearest about this day is my cousin tapping his city flag against the door where the tube driver sits. All of a sudden the tube comes to a complete stop in a pitch black tunnel and the enraged driver flies out going mental  

 

He must have been having a seriously bad day because he got off at the next station and walked off 

 

 

Great times 

[coolhandfox]

2O years old, what a day.

 

The O'Neill period was a great time to be a City fan. 

[deejdeej]

One of my favourite bits of commentary of all time.
