It's exactly 23 years since BRYAN WADE day

I think this was the game that saw the Newcastle manager, cant remember who it was, fired, and Keegan got the gig, and the rest, as they say, is history

Jim Smith was manager then: he resigned in March about two months after that game. He was succeeded by Ossie Ardiles. Keegan didn't become manager until a year later

And we beat them 1-0 at St. James' Park just before they were promoted back to the top flight.

I watched the Wade game from the SW corner, great night, one of my favourites.

It wasn't his home debut, he played against Middlesbrough earlier in the season


Also scored in the game before Newcastle - a 3-2 win away at Wolves

You laugh now but before you know it you'll be reminiscing about how it was 25 years ago that Buckley got the winner against Doncaster! It goes by in a flash - be warned!

And how I missed the game because I was on holiday

I was in the North Stand for that game, it went mental. Cracking game, brilliant performance by Wade.

Crickey, where did those years go. Remember it well. I had a ticket through work in the very posh West stand. Sat next to my boss. Free sandwiches at half time. Shame Wade never went on to hit the heights we thought he would. I remember a 16 year old Steve Watson in the side for Newcastle.

I miss the Goldstone.

P.s, did anyone ever take their Farah Slacks to Bollom to be dry cleaned?

...and now all of a sudden we are middle aged. How the f**k did that happen??

I was 16 behind the goal in the North.

 

[Withdean and I]

I too was in the North stand that crazy night. I too remember telling everyone who wasn't there that I had just witnessed the 'new peter ward'. Happy days! I wonder what he's up to now?

I wanted to go (I was 14) but my old man wouldn't lend us £4 to get into the North stand!!
