That was definitely Swindon

 

He scored v notts county in a game we won three nil in the year they beat us in play offs, it was from left side in front of burnden terrace into top far corner.

 

I was in the many road stand with a mate using his parents season tickets.

 

it was disallowed for nothing. and it was a screamer.

 

Call me a liar again and I will carve you open with a fish knife.

Every Christmas without fail we sit down and watch the VHS tape of the Sherpa Van Final (classic Dave Higson commentary).

 

The 2 things which make us roar with laughter in the Road to Wembley highlights are:

 

Steve Thompson fouled in the box at Bloomfield Road and DH shouts "Justice" on the commentary and

 

Mark Winstanley's screamer vs Wrexham prompting DH to shout "Win-win-Winny"

 

Happy days in the third tier with crap players.....bring it on!

Correct.

I remember a charity match a bit back

 

Think they said Messi, Pele, Puskas, fat Ronaldo, Youri and Cruyff were booked on but they all "regrettably" cancelled an hour before, and instead we had to sit and watch Tony Kelly huff and puff around. And that was just his warm up.

 

I'll go, but hoping everyone turns up as promised.

That's when Jeremy Bon was keeper for the world xi

Winstanley's goal was definitely against Wrexham in 1989 on our way to Wembley, Northern area qtr final I think it was.

 

Cowdrill's screamer which was ruled out for offside was against Swindon in the league cup. I think it was Browny stood in the offside position on the opposite wing!

 

All of the above is correct.

There must be two then. The one I'm thinking of, and presumably Ani too, was hit from near the corner flag at the Lever End.

 

Pretty sure we scored fairly soon after so it didn't really matter.

 

That is the one we battered them that day, remember walking off thinking we had knocked them out of race for play offs as it was so one sided.

 

they eventually knocked us out at their place, after we smashed their mini buses as they tried to get on st peters way in the home game.
