That's nonsense thought.Very irritatingly, I can find a tantalising bit of this but not the whole thing.
If I Google "Sheffield United Kanu David Seaman" I get a link to an Google Books page with the following line quoted "Arsenal keeper David Seaman offered to let United score directly from the..."
However, when I click on the link, the page in question (the one for 13th February) doesn't load properly although most of the other pages do.
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=jqnq0hIia0cC&pg=PA46&lpg=PA46&dq=David+Seaman+Sheffield+United+Kanu&source=bl&ots=yy6mBQdJEo&sig=ACfU3U19OPswZYoKV-oI6SiJr4Jg6-0RHA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjDy4TNhpv8AhUTnVwKHQwsBK4Q6AF6BAgjEAM#v=onepage&q=David Seaman Sheffield United Kanu&f=false
The snippet provided certainly backs up what I remember reading a while back, which is that Seaman wanted to allow us to score one back straight away but it wasn't allowed for whatever reason.
Edit: Oh hang on, that posted link fixed it.
"Arsenal keeper David Seaman offered to let United score directly from the Kick off, but the referee threatened to send the entire home team off if that happened".
Under what premise could the ref send the whole team off.
He can't just do what he wants, he is also bound by the rules of the game.
Sounds like a load of tosh. It's what they should have done.
12 mins or so away from a replay at BDTBL it was hardly that generous to give yourself another 90 minutes at Highbury!
