That was in 93 and according to Wiki he didn’t play 

92 was the start of names on shirts

Premier League names weren’t until 1993/94, it was just numbers in the 92/93 season. Below the Premier League wasn’t until 1999/2000, although (and I think this has been mentioned on here previously) Luton had names on shirts in 93/94ish for some reason.

Said it before re: Sheffield Weds 

It was my second away game (after wolves in the cup)

Going to a ground that big was overwhelming 

But 

They did pot noodles as a pre match / half time option 

As a 16 year old that blew me away and was proper big club shit 

Mr Tom was a peanut and caramel snack bar.

The Chuppa Chupps factory is right next to Hillsborough.
