Can anyone help me with the scorers (& times) of the classic United 5 v 4 Brighton game on 9/9/89?

Also, can anyone suggest a tune/song that would have been prevalent for United at that time?

Ta muchly!
 



You just need a Bible. If you haven't got the answer before, we'll check when we get home.
 
I think this would have been in the charts around that time

Our scorers were:

Booker 1-0
Deane 2-0
Francis 3-0
Bryson (pen) 4-4
Francis 5-4.

Paul Wood got two of theirs - but don't know the other two. Don't know the times either apart from Francis 2nd being in the 89th min.
 
I can still remember that match as if it was yesterday. It makes me old to think that it was 23 years ago. Football was miles better back in those days!
 
Funny that I can't remember a thing about it.

Either the Alzheimers is kicking in, or maybe I was away on holiday at the time.
 
You'd remember it if you had been there. It was similar to the 3-2 victory over Forest on our return to the Premiership - better because there were more goals; worse because there weren't as many there and it was a lower league. But unforgettable either way.
 
1-0 Booker 9 mins
2-0 Deane 14 mins
3-0 Francis 31 mins
3-1 Wood 34 mins
3-2 Bremner 48 mins
3-3 Bremner 64 mins
3-4 Wood 68 mins
4-4 Bryson (pen) 75 mins
5-4 Francis 89 mins

A random memory of that game was when we were 4-3 down, there was an hopeful punt forward which looked to be easy either for the Brighton goalie who was coming out of his goal to collect it or the Defender running back. Luckily for us the defender and goalie collided on the edge of the box, both fell over and the ball sailed through, leaving Deane (who had been ambling someway behind the defender) to run through and - as we thought - tap the ball into an empty net from around 10 yards out.

Deane could have waited for the ball to drop, stopped it and then tapped it in. Unfortunately, he decided to take it on the volley and it sailed over the bar. One of the worse misses I have seen from a United player.
 



I can remember jumping about the back of the kop like a lunatic when Francis scored the winner..
To of been 3up and then be losing - a WTF moment....

Luckily we clawed it back to one of the most thrilling games i've had the pleasure to be live at...

23 bleeding years ago tho????........ bloody hell
 
Has anybody noticed that we are 1 player short and Brighton 3 players short in the main pic?

That's down to John Gannon hiding in the "Bobby Ford hole" I assume.

Bloody pedant! (or whatever the photographic version is). :)

Not a lot of people know this game was a rehearsal for 'The Battle of Bramall Lane'.

Or...it's a nightmare trying for a pano when the game is in progress.

You decide...

Fair enough

From memory, the team in that game was:

Tracey

Hill
Stancliffe
Morris
Barnes

Roberts
Booker
Gannon
Bryson

Deane
Francis

Can we identify the players: I can say Deane (outside the box) and Tracey are obvious. Francis is obviously missing. As is one other (9 are there not 10 as I thought).

9 players! - Very well spotted!!
I think Gypsy John Gannon is the player at the bottom of penalty area with arms outstretched and Digger is the player running out from the goal line on the 6 yard box

my best guess, from left to right is:

Deane, Hill, Booker, Morris, Gannon, Tracey, Stancliffe, Barnes, Bryson. Which leaves Francis and Roberts missing (and they probably would be the two people furtherest up the pitch when United were defending).

Defo agree with ooh ah Bob Booker and Jock as I thought it might be them, and you are also probably right about the others as well. (although Stan looks strangely mobile)

And I am under the roof at the back of the kop that day!

Dont think Roberts played in that match. He didnt play in many games that season. I think his last appearance for us was in the 3-3 draw at Boro. I think Whitehouse played in the Brighton game
