Who is our representative in this old sky ad? Is it Bradshaw?
(In the Pigs shirt just to confuse matters...although it wouldn’t be the first time if it is Bradshaw)
I saw a programme documentary recently, about the all TV rights etc. Alan Sugar was in it a lot!
I'll see if I can remember it.
In the meantime, looking at that season
here for stats and info, I noticed how few betting companies were shirt sponsors then!
Also forgot how good it was to see our very own Deano in this list:
Lots of interesting stuff on this link that I forgot. Villa and Norwich 2nd and 3rd! Oldham in there!
My memory must be fading as I went to most of those, home and away, and I can only recall a few memories.
I only remembered the Spurs 6-0 home win, as going out of the stadium as shocked as everyone else, thinking, 'what the feck was that?!' (but I can't really recall the match itselt)
However, the season after, I'll never remove this from my memory.
(linked as found on youtube) - if you were there, then you'll remember it.
Great youtube film actually as with headphones, and little commentary 'in them days', you can really hear the noise.
I remember Blake's goal like it was yesterday... right in front of us, and the loudest cheer I could recall (great acoustics in old WHLane),
then, that finish. I could still watch this and be sick! How long did they play? it was so long that the sides of the ground were almost empty, and only the kop lot really stayed... and yet that last min goal I can still hear. Loudest cheer I recall from any away match. Sickening. But great to see footage that now seems so old!
start at 8 mins if want quick look as that was where this all unfolded.
