[Football] On this day in 1992

[Lankyseagull]

We played Man Utd in the League Cup at The Goldstone and a certain David Beckham made his debut.

I wonder how many of us who were there that night could imagine how differently the fortunes of both clubs would be over the next 20 or so years, especially the journey that we have been on in getting back to the top tier of English Football.

Those shorts.


How your memory plays tricks, I was convinced that finished1-0 to them, and I was there!

 

[Oscar]

I was there! I even distinctly remember the skinny, spotty kid who would become Golden Balls coming on, mainly due to the relief that he was replacing the rather good future Albion legend Andrei Kanchelkskis.

So many thoughts. One of the most obvious to me is the 'accent' of commentator being the Queens English / toff / posh. To me, 1992 doesn't seem that long ago but how much things have changed.

Oh and yea, those shorts

The late great Brian Moore.

I think that kit is underrated

 

[studio150]

Yep I was there

The only time I ever stood in the East stand. I can't remember why, but one of our group was a Man Utd supporter (from Kent) so I guess we might have gone for a more neutral stand (it didn't feel like an away stand). My only memory was of how all the Manchester United players were in the ref's face all the time. The likes of Ince and Hughes constantly complaining about every decision that went against them. Obviously Ferguson had trained them to do it, because he was always pressurising refs as well. Up until then I had been indifferent towards Man Utd, because they never won much, and at least they weren't Liverpool or Arsenal. Ferguson managed to change all that.

I was in the North Stand for this one. Beckham was welcomed onto the pitch with the chant "Who the f*cking hell are you ?"

Well then.

I went to the return leg at OT, which was a bit crap as there was no Stretford End at the time, it had been demolished in prep for the new stand to be built.

Clearly audible on this version. Was there as well so pretty sure I would have been joining in

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Yes I squeezed into the West Stand terrace for this one. It was rammed!

 

[Pinkie Brown]

I was at both legs of this. The same season we played Man U in the FA Cup as well if I remember.

I was also there and remember getting spat on.

Ah man. Was there too, and this brings back memories. Especially that replay from the camera at the back of the North Stand, it’s like standing where I used to stand. Shit when time suddenly reminds you how fast it all goes.

 

[Stat Brother]

South West for me.

Prime position to see how fast Kanchelskis was and how easily Chappers popped him in his pocket.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

I was there. Remember Edwards goal like it was yesterday.

 

[The Rattler]

I was also there and remember getting spat on.

I was also there and got punched by a massive skinhead after the game.

Was there in the NW corner with my little bro who was 7 at the time. I think it was actually his first game.
