Was sat behind the post on the front row at old Trafford that day,we were already celebrating.
Best save I've ever witnessed.
Just after I shouted you twat seaman and he just shrugged his shoulders!!

Everyone forgets Jags blazing the rebound over from 3 yards as well, should have buried it.

I was sat right on the line, felt for sure it was in.

Only realised when I saw it again the other day that Pesch was offside so it probably wouldn't have counted anyway had it gone in.

 

[Diamondlife]

I remember watching it at the time and thinking wow, what a crap header

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Best save ever. At least I've never seen one better, but...is it in the top ten ways the Fates have conspired against the Mighty Blades?

linesman didnt put his flag up?

I'm sorry if it's been making you feel better all these years WH, but he definitely wasn't. I'm trying to upload the image and failing, but he's still on side after Asaba hits it. It would have counted but for an incredible save.

Definitely onside

So he is, on the video it looks like he's miles offside.

 

[Bladebri]

Have to agree I thought he was offside goes to show that we would not be good linesmen, brilliant save, reactions of a cat.

Brilliant save, shite header.

 

[Bladesman]

I was sat behind that net for that save as well.

Could not believe he saved it.

 

[boo radley]

Could not believe he saved it. We deserved at least a draw.

Yes, forgotten in the same way that his ridiculous handball against Wigan was. Clearly a big game player.

 

[TomMounsey]

Best there ever was and best there'll ever be...

 

[AgaMonkey]

I couldn't believe he saved it...but even if he hadn't the ref would have stolen up at a corner and headed the winner for them in the last minute of extra time anyway.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

A decent striker would have given him no chance.

 

[Bladesman]

Not sure it was the greatest save ever but a good one. I just wish it hadn't been against us.

 

[blade too long]

still upset on the deliberate block by the ref that broke up our move that led to their goal

he should have sent himself off

Plus not giving the foul by Campbell on Allison just prior to that, a foul so obvious that Campbell stopped and waited for a whistle.

 

[Rudders]

Seaman had been enormously overrated for years at the time and that save 'validated' him. Bang average keeper lucky to play international football.

 

[UnitedBlade]

I was right behind it. The second greatest save I've ever seen live (Hodgy's double save v Liverpool at the Lane was the greatest).

I couldn't fathom how he saved it and was in disbelief until I viewed it on TV later.

 

[From the pig end]

I've never thought about how close Seaman was to scooping the ball back onto Pesch's head for a follow up.
He's millimetres from connecting after the save too.
It gets better every time you watch it, the appreciation for the save I mean!
The outcome still hurts.

 

[stringjunior]

I still think it's going to go in.....

 

[Tyler Durden]

I was on the top tier of the Stretford End, front row. Saw it in all its glory.
My main memory of that day is Poll being an utter cuntoid from start to finish, he probably sucked Wengers cock at half time for good measure as well.

But I don't think I've ever been prouder of a United team than that day. We faced a virtually unbeatable Arsenal side and fought them all the way. With a fraction of good fortune, the story could have been so much different. They gave it their all.

Fast forward to present day however........well I'll leave it at that.

 

[Jehovah]

I'll always remember Linekers comments on TV when I watched the highlights that night. "We thought they'd only be one team in it and there was. Lucky arsenal go through"

 

[Jon Bon]

I thought this was going to be a thread about a Sperm Bank..?!??

From memory, wasn't one of the stats that day that our entire team cost less than one of their players? Or something like that?

There was a spread in the Mirror comparing and contrasting the two sides with various stats. Basically as if it was Real Madrid playing a bunch of postmen from Luxembourg. I remember that much.
