That's actually not a bad idea bonce. I'll get on it after I finish with the Rioch years. To be honest I'm not going to go through the past season by season in chronological order anyway. Next up is 93/94 and then Bruce's final season in charge including his exit to Arsenal but once they're done then I'll have a dig into Phil Neale's tenure. In truth I think he was a bit unlucky with the timing and lack of resources available to him but there were some good moments for all of that.

I'll try and squeeze it in as a 'special' for you in the next week or so mate.

This game in particular brought us to national attention but for sheer drama the later play off final against Reading was exceptional for so many reasons. When you think now of McGinlay and Walker up front, it makes you cry to think of what we have now!! That they were supported by the likes of Lee, McAteer and Stubsy is just incredible. What a team. I couldn't get to Anfield that night but I'll never forget the excitement of listening to it and seeing the highlights. Those were the days and as you rightly say, we rose from nothing, so come on Parky let's have more of the same. ;-))

Absolutely brilliant Pete, more of the same please.

No I wasn't at the derby match nor did I claim to be. I based my opinion of it on the highlights I saw that night and the radio commentary I listened to during the day. I went to away games when I could afford them and while I missed this one I hardly think I need a public chastising on Facebook for confusing the name of Derby's ground almost a quarter of a century later. If you believe you can do better then write one yourself, it's your site after all.

Eh?

What are you on about Peter?

I don't go on Facebook!

I think your confusing me with someone else.

Seems like someone has been playing silly games!

Like Peter, I suspect I know who it is.

Someone with too much time on their hands and a rep for stirring up pointless shit.
