Correct!Current Derby manager ?
And then Reading scored 3 goals in about 5 mins midway in the 2nd half, Trevor Senior causing havoc!Thoroughly enjoyed this vid. This was the season my dad started taking me too the lane. I always remember that in that reading game, we were winning three nil!. Nothing much changes.
Yes, August 1986. Edwards was playing for L**ds. Highlights of match were shown on YTV in next dayWas that the season we went to Leeds & Phillis sprung their offside trap to score the winner ?
The first 100 years book has a black and white oneIm a bit hampered for the next (and final) one by not having a photo of the 1987-1988 squad.
(and final)
No season reviews from 1989-90?Gutted Walth, we start to get good for a bit after that.

Thank you for the excellent videos. Much appreciatedWell there's the club ones which I might do. After 1988 I don't think there's much I can add though. 1987-1988 will be the last of the videos produced by me. After that I'll be editing the existing ones as and when more footage becomes available.
Thank you for the excellent videos. Much appreciated
Under McEwan we played a lot of passing football. I think Bassett was the first manager in our history to play route oneThanks for the video, not sure the quality of the football was much different then than now but did get some results.
Don't stop doing em after 88
Fpr me it was the 4 sending offs in the first 36 mins against Pompey at home in November.Billy Gilbert was the first to go after a strong tackle, then not long after that the linesman asked for the ref (Jim Parker) over to tell him what he saw. The ref then sent off both Peter Beagrie and Mick Tait (it was said that they were in a scuffle but I didnt see it). On the 36th minute Kevin Dillon was the next to go after a late tackle. In the 2nd half 8 men Pompey defended well against 10 men Blades and it was an own goal by Paul Mariner that gave us 3 points3 games in particular stand out in my mind from that season: 1) L**ds (a) There was never a very good atmosphere at Elland Road because of the way our fans were spread down the side of the ground, but to sing "Edwards, Edwards what's the score?" after Phillishave's offside goal was hugely satisfying. 2) Sunderland (h) Great atmosphere, large away following, game heading to a stalemate. Young David Frain comes on after about 88 minutes. Bloke near me goes "What's he bringing him on now for?" Ball comes to Frain at corner of penalty area in injury-time and he curls a peach in front of the Kop who go berserk. I still get a warm glow when I think of it now, 30 years later . 3) Hull (h) on Boxing Day. Losing 1-0 at half-time, Peter Beagrie puts on a virtuoso performance in the second half as we go on to win 4-2. That evening ITV show The Spy Who Loved Me and the theme tune 'Nobody Does It Better' seems entirely appropriate.
I also remember the 3-3 v Reading after going 3-0 up in the second-half - awful, and beating Palace 1-0 in March in front of about 6,200 - our lowest post-war league crowd I believe. Oddly enough the atmosphere was quite good at that game, as if we were down to the real hardcore fans.
I'd forgotten about that. The second half, Portsmouth defended like a basketball team. I remember the headline in the Green 'Un: "FOUR OFF AT THE LANE". The first battle of Bramall Lane!Fpr me it was the 4 sending offs in the first 36 mins against Pompey at home in November.Billy Gilbert was the first to go after a strong tackle, then not long after that the linesman asked for the ref (Jim Parker) over to tell him what he saw.

The first Battle of Bramall Lane was v Hull in March 1971I'd forgotten about that. The second half, Portsmouth defended like a basketball team. I remember the headline in the Green 'Un: "FOUR OFF AT THE LANE". The first battle of Bramall Lane!
Before my time that. Would make a good box-set. Battle of Bramall Lane I, II and III.The first Battle of Bramall Lane was v Hull in March 1971
