History repeating itself

[John Street West Terrace]

I went to that game, loads of Blades there, really nervy night after Hull scored early on, but a great night out

Ditto .. needed Imodium family pack all night .. Roger Hansbury had a blinder in the net for Burnley

Not entirely comparable but in the mid-80s we needed to win our final game and hope that Hull didn't win away at Burnley by more than two goals. We won our game, then Hull won theirs 2-0 so we were promoted by a single goal.

Actually this was the table.....

We had exactly the same goal difference as Hull but went up on scoring more goals. I remember that night too, wasnt there but saw they were 2 nil up after 39 minutes but the 3rd goal never came.
