I remember getting "101 Great Goals" video as a kid and watching it all the time. This goal featured on it.

Like yesterday …. didn’t they outlaw that type of free kick shortly after as they said the first flick up was a double touch or something ??

No, Alan Taylor who scored both goals in the final.

He was appointed on this very day Oct 16th in 75.

Did we lose 2-1 at home to Derby County the day before`/

 

[Silent Blade]

Did we lose 2-1 at home to Derby County the day before`/

No that was in October 1974. Had the score been reversed then we would have needed a win at Birmingham in our last match of the season to become league champions!

 

[HarryHaslam]

Did we lose 2-1 at home to Derby County the day before`/

I don’t believe so, just checked and we lost at home to Stoke two days later.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

No, Alan Taylor who scored both goals in the final.

That was played on my birthday - remember seeing us lose 2-1 v Derby . Didn’t realise the significance - wow - went to Brum that night - drew 0-0 and haven’t ever been as concerned for our safety in and outside the ground
