Deano pen v QPR New year's day. So that's 4 at Lane end accounted for.

No, he scored with a header at Kop End. You probably were thinking of Roy Wegerle's missed penalty at Lane End

All 4 goals v Southampton were at the Lane end- we went 4- up in a stupidly quick time.

How many games was there no roof on the kop?

I'm sure The Spurs one was 2-2? Also red hot that day.

No, they were all at the Kop end.

Only Barnes' goal v Wimbledon and Aganas brace v Norwich were at the Lane end in the league.

Just the Norwich game.

 

[JJ Sefton]

People might forget now, but Norwich were a decent side back then. We beat them pretty comfortably and I remember thinking after that game that we really belonged in Division One.

I bet they gave the crowd as 4728 that day!

Not far off
21,000 was the official attendance even though there were well over 30,000 in the stadium

I remember it well, my friends Dad hadn't been to Bramall Lane for over 30 years at the time and even he showed up.

The Spurs game was the final game with the Kop roof on. I've a painting somewhere (Terry Gorman?) from that match.

Similar to some of our crowds this season when there have been big gaps in the kop! Of course there could have been huge gaps in the rest of the ground that day.

You are in fact, correct. My memory of that game is Gannon missing a penalty at the Lane end.

He almost hit the clock, from memory!
