What A Season This Was...

Brilliant, loved that season and not seen some of those goals since they were scored!!

 

Funny how Scott Sellars goal at City was just how I remembered it, what a night that was

 

Frandsen's first season - what a class player he was

 

COYWM

Whereas I actually had it in my head that Sellars ran with the ball from halfway and beat about four players!

The club were embarrassed by the Roadrunner videos, would have been McBain. One of his many crimes.

 

They started producing "professional" videos more regularly e.g. Baptism of Fire. What they didn't get was you could just record the goals off MOTD if you wanted sterile commentary.

Some brilliant goals on there, better ones than the Blake one that McGinlay rated as his goal of the season I thought. I liked Sheridan's at Birmingham even though we got beat.

 

Loads of little details throughout it that made me smile. I noticed at Bradford away Bolton fans celebrating in the home end on one replay. Kevin Davies trudging away after we scored against Chesterfield. That miserable temporary stand in front of Normid. No squad numbers, David Lee playing as number 14 after coming off the bench. Not sure if it was just the camera quality, but Portsmouth away looked like it was played in horrendous conditions too!

 

Fantastic video!

I had this on VHS and I bet I've watched it fifty times. I was seven in 1996, and it was the season before I really got into football (only went to Ipswich at home, our only home league defeat). Love watching Blake's goal at Bramall Lane, around the 21min mark.

Only just met the wife to be unbeknown to me she had booked a holiday with her sister for me and her sisters partner they all revealed the dates which meant missing the Tranmere game I said get it cancelled I can't miss the last game her sisters face was a picture she thought I was jesting when she realised I wasn't her jaw dropped to the floor.

The Premier League lays down production standards for club videos that Roadrunner could not meet. This was widely reported at the time.

Yep, fair play to him. He's done well for himself.

I had this on VHS, remember getting it from the club shop at the Reebok when i was about 10, Jimmy Phillips was in the shop at the time and signed the tape for me.

 

Got it home, watched it with my parents and turns out Roadrunner video had taped over a porn film cos after the last game when the recording ended some tart getting shagged came up hahaha!

 

I wanted to keep it, but Dad took it back to the shop and brought me back a non-filth version :(
