It's exactly 23 years since BRYAN WADE day

[Codner's Crackpipe]

I was there. Loved that season*



*Apart from the last 90mins.

I remember that night, 2 carloads of 18 year olds down from Crowborough in the North Stand. What a night, thought we'd snapped up a really good striker !! Then up all night watching the TV.

 

[Guinness Boy]

I was in the North. 17 years old.

Me too - well 18 years old

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

I was in the North aged 19 and my mate was in the Newcastle end. How we laughed. Well I did anyway.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

My hero.

 

[Mowgli37]

Not bad for a home debut.

That was a brilliant header! Is there a link to the first two goals?

Knew I could rely on you GR, cheers

I was there too. Micky Quinn usually scored loads against Brighton. I remember them coming down, might of been for an evening kick off again, and they wore yellow and green stripes. Quinn got some serious abuse that night about his past and scored a hatrick in a 3-0 win.

This was one of my first games after leaving tha Navy, saw it from the south west terrace, a great night

 

[Driver8]

One of very few games I watched from the West Stand. Can still remember thinking "we have a star on our hands here!". How wrong I was

 

[Baldseagull]

I was in the North Stand, I had forgotten it was Burridge in Goal for the Geordies, makes it just a little sweeter still. I hated that poser.

 

[The Modfather]

What a great evening that was. Where the hell has 23 year gone?

If it makes it any better, I'm 19 now so this was over 3 years before I was born

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!

 

[BrianWade4]

Was in the North Stand Pack. Joy unrivalled

 

[Grassman]

I was there.

The incredible thing was that the fences were still up in the North Stand, 21 months after Hillsborough.

They were, but there were always two gates open at the front, I recall. I was in the North Stand that night - in the position I took up most games until they knocked it down - three-quarters of the way up the Eastern pen, just to the side of the steps. Lovely stuff.

 

[BrianWade4]

Interesting to see the surges on the terraces and pitch invasions... World away from the AMEX. Better or worse?

 

[Stoichkov]

What a night! Goldstone - floodlights - north stand - 4 goals to celebrate

Marvellous...

I was there too. Micky Quinn usually scored loads against Brighton. I remember them coming down, might of been for an evening kick off again, and they wore yellow and green stripes. Quinn got some serious abuse that night about his past and scored a hatrick in a 3-0 win.

I remember him giving us two fingers in front of the north stand when he scored a penalty for Pompey. I was fairly cross.

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
