Not a Tommy Johnson type tear though :giggle:

I was only 7 when this match took place, so not too many memories for me. I think I was watching with the family, but I don't remember now. However, I can just imagine the electric atmosphere when the final whistle went after two successive play-off final defeats. The relief that they'd finally made it to the top of football.

Awesome to watch, and thanks for sharing. :thumbup:

Sorry to sound silly, but is the other commentator Kevin Keegan? Sounds awfully like him to me anyway.

I can't help but think of the glory Ormondroyd would've been destined for if that header had gone in rather than rebounding to Walsh :cry:

on such miniscule events our lives do hinge . :thumbup:

well, that and on other things like walshy being a lot better player

I really hated Alan Parry calling him "Ormonroyd". It's not a silent "d", you tosser!

If I remember correctly from my DVD of the match then it is (I haven't got sound on at work so can't listen again now to refresh my memory)

A bold claim Zingari, but Ormondroyd's record of 1 goal every 11 games (in the league) is a formidable one indeed!

I KNOW! It angered me, FACT :angry:

To be fair, I wasn't listening to Alan Parry at the time!

Anyone remember Watford away...Ormondroyd's looping goal? Quality!

I bet you were being hugged by some random bloke :thumbup:

I remember I was!! :whistle:

Great memory of that day was driving back up the M1 and all the people on the motorway bridges waving City flags and scarves when we got back into Leicestershire - felt like Royalty. Happy memories .......................

Several, to be honest. :giggle:

Beautiful. Think we lined up in a 5-2-3 that day with the Droyd, Walsh and Roberts as a possibly the tallest combined strike force ever! Good work by Big Iwan on the keeper for our first goal.

But what was Paul Williams doing on the line! lol

Might aswell join in, anyone at Ipswich away when sticks went clean through bearing down on goal running towards us at full pelt!!! gets to the edge of the area, City fans going mental cheering him on "go on!!!" then he treads on the ball and the whole pen just burst out laughing :crylaugh: and gave him a massive round of applause and chanting his name.......Brilliant!!

think we drew 2-2 that day.

"I've never seen that before Alan, you could almost call in a missed header" :scarf::appl:
