Turkish Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Was the famous Man United shirt swapping game. Who else was there? I was, it was a great 6-3 win
hutch Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 10 minutes without even a nibble. You need to up your game if you want to keep up with Glasgow
mickn Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think that was the shirt swapping game
Lighthouse Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Remember that game well, I went nuts when Beattie's header went in at the end.
Turkish Posted 14 April, 2017 Author Posted 14 April, 2017 Remember that game well, I went nuts when Beattie's header went in at the end. What a day that was. Went to the joiners that night to see an unheard of American band call Nirvana.
ericofarabia Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 What a day that was. Went to the joiners that night to see an unheard of American band call Nirvana. I didn't bother, getting relegated and Keane's Antics on the pitch giving us the thumbs down made me too depressed.
John Boy Saint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 I cant believe that was 21 years ago............................................... I feel a bit old eek:
Saint Billy Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 I didn't bother, getting relegated and Keane's Antics on the pitch giving us the thumbs down made me too depressed. Different game different decade?
the colonel Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Was the famous Man United shirt swapping game. Who else was there? I was, it was a great 6-3 win It is that famous you got it wrong. it was the 95-96 season when we won 3-1 that the grey shirts were swapped over at halftime. The 6-3 was 96-97. So were you really there or just getting old and confused?

CB Fry Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Remember it like it was yesterday. Best bit was when Tim Flowers ran the length of the pitch at the end.
Turkish Posted 14 April, 2017 Author Posted 14 April, 2017 Remember it like it was yesterday. Best bit was when Tim Flowers ran the length of the pitch at the end. Still can't believe they disallowed Keegan's overhead kick, would have made it 7.
Dalek2003 Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Still can't believe they disallowed Keegan's overhead kick, would have made it 7. Eeeh ! Great times the old stadium was packed with 90,000 rattle waving Saints fans. Of course everyone played in shades of black and white in them days, colour wasn't invented. And if there were any trouble, like someone throwing their flask of Bovril, a clip round the ear by a constable sorted it out. Oh yes, I think it was snowing that day, at least on the pitch, a few broken legs but the magic spongue got the players going again.
Lighthouse Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 What a day that was. Went to the joiners that night to see an unheard of American band call Nirvana. Was that before or after Chad Kroeger became their drummer?
scotty Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Fair play to their keeper though. He played 87 minutes with a broken neck, Bert something I think.
Toadhall Saint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Fair play to their keeper though. He played 87 minutes with a broken neck, Bert something I think. Troutman - was a ww2 German paratrooper that settled here after the war.
Globetrotter Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 And to think it made them sack Ron Atkinson the next day! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
Badger Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Shame Ron Davies wasn't available due to injury, but good job Jimmy Gabriel could play up front (and score the winner).
dellboypete Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Bizarrely I was (continuing) to sort out all or stuff at home prior to selling our house and came across the Pink for this very match! I was there with my two eldest kids who were 14 and 15 at the time and we often reminisce about this game and the 6-3 of course!
scotty Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Troutman - was a ww2 German paratrooper that settled here after the war. Yes, Bert "the trout" Trautmann. He was immortalised by Viz comic as Billy "the fish" Thompson. Oddly, a lot of people think his "trout" nickname arose because of his being the first openly gay footballer and always "rising to the flies", but it was actually because his surname sounds a bit like "trout man" if you say it in a heavy western bavarian accent.
Antrimsaint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Yep I was there. Always remember an old guy shouting "the clouds are coming in over the dell" when we were getting lumped that year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Viking Saint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 I was on a bus from Wexford to Dublin on the day of the shirt-swapping game, trying to contain myself as reports kept being read out of more goals going in. The shirt-swapping prompted a lot of discussion on the bus which had a load of United fans on it. Happy days.......
Dalek2003 Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 And to think it made them sack Ron Atkinson the next day! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Well worse than that for them as I think that was the game that got them relegated.
John B Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 21 years ago yesterday was my 50th birthday I remember the game well as we were driving back from the Peak District and I listen to it in the car One of our best PL wins of all time.
Heisenberg Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Me in the school playground the day afterwards :lol:
sandwichsaint Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 I was there, apparently a record crowd at the Dell 31 and a bit K, but anybody who was at Mick Channon's testimonial will tell u that is fake news.
ericofarabia Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 I was there, apparently a record crowd at the Dell 31 and a bit K, but anybody who was at Mick Channon's testimonial will tell u that is fake news. Gosh, how could I have forgotten about Channon's Testimonial, coming only 2 days after our 6-3 win, changing of shirts and Keegans overhead strike being disallowed. What a weekend.
Kingsland Codger Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Well worse than that for them as I think that was the game that got them relegated. The game where Dennis Bergkamp scored from a back-heel. Ah yes, I remember it well.
Badger Posted 14 April, 2017 Posted 14 April, 2017 Gosh, how could I have forgotten about Channon's Testimonial, coming only 2 days after our 6-3 win, changing of shirts and Keegans overhead strike being disallowed. What a weekend. Not often a team containing Best, Charlton & Law are stuffed like that.
mickn Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Not often a team containing Best, Charlton & Law are stuffed like that. Didn't Best get a hat trick?
scotty Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Didn't Best get a hat trick? No, his third was disallowed. He was quoted years later as blaming that decision for his drinking problems.
Badger Posted 15 April, 2017 Posted 15 April, 2017 Didn't Best get a hat trick? No, his third was disallowed. He was quoted years later as blaming that decision for his drinking problems. This was the same game when his blonde photographer girlfriend was spotted walking naked around the pitch carrying a camera.
Turkish Posted 15 April, 2017 Author Posted 15 April, 2017 No, his third was disallowed. He was quoted years later as blaming that decision for his drinking problems. I thought he blamed Les Reed.
