I think Sky need to get theit facts right :

:: Birmingham 4 - 6 Swindon, 1993: As the video above shows, player-manager Glenn Hoddle came off the bench to inspire Swindon as his side silenced the St Andrews crowd with an astonishing turnaround from 4-1 down 20 minutes from time

Hoddle started the match !!

Most of the great comebacks have been by sides who were at home, like when QPR were 5-0 down at half-time at home to Newcastle in the '80's, and they drew 5-5, and Peterborough came back from 4-0 down this season against Cardiff this season. Our comeback in the above game was done by the away side, which is so rare.

Didn't QPR draw 4-4 with Port Vale after being 4-0 away?

guess the thing they were confused about was that Hoddle moved into a more forward role after we went 4-1 down, that was the difference.
or is that too technical for them?
