Title: Gutted Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 2, 2010, 18:29:09 Just been flicking through the channels and came across ESPN classic and literally just missed the highlights of the 1993 play-off final.
Just checked and it is repeated at 1.50am for those late night people. Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Arriba on Monday, August 2, 2010, 19:25:57 dont be gutted.we won that one
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Bob's Orange on Monday, August 2, 2010, 19:35:17 dont be gutted.we won that one Shit, yeah you are right!! Title: Re: Gutted Post by: donkey on Monday, August 2, 2010, 21:32:58 We wore red.
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: 4D on Monday, August 2, 2010, 21:37:44 and they wore blue!
Actually, come to think of it....when we played Sunderland in 1990 we wore red that day. I think they played in their away strip (yellow shirts???) I was there and can't remember for sure :doh: Title: Re: Gutted Post by: donkey on Monday, August 2, 2010, 22:00:28 They wore blue.
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: 4D on Monday, August 2, 2010, 22:03:38 Ah Yes!
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: herthab on Monday, August 2, 2010, 22:27:06 Got it on DVD. One of the most (If not the most) Dramatic play-off finals ever.
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Crispy on Monday, August 2, 2010, 23:16:28 Got it on DVD. One of the most (If not the most) Dramatic play-off finals ever. Got it on good old video :) Title: Re: Gutted Post by: alanmayes on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:14:38 1993 Play - Off Final repeated tonight on ESPN Classic at 18.55pm
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: jonny72 on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:22:07 They've been playing that game for a few months on ESPN Classic, first time I saw it was a few weeks before Wembley.
I'm sure it's just me, but I thought we look fucking shit in that game compared to now. Why is that? Title: Re: Gutted Post by: alanmayes on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:34:34 It's a shame that the 1990 Play - Off final isn't broadcast,which would show just how much
we dominated Sunderland that day. However,i'm not sure that Chalky or Big Dunc would want to watch the game again,given the ammount of chances that they missed on that hot and sunny day in May! ;D Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:36:56 1993 Play - Off Final repeated tonight on ESPN Classic at 18.55pm Thanks for that! Going to give it a watch! Title: Re: Gutted Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:48:34 Don't get classic :(

Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Summerof69 on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 17:57:45 I'm sure it's just me, but I thought we look fucking shit in that game compared to now. Why is that? It looks heavily edited to favour Leicester. David Pleat is still a cock, tho'. Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 18:28:12 Enjoyed that. We probably could have won 5-3 in the end. Good to see Bodin bombing forward towards full time.
Title: Re: Gutted Post by: alanmayes on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 18:32:33 A real reminder that Moncur looked a very good player,allied to Lingy's strong running in midfield.
The "frenzy" of the 2nd half seemed to be a very appropriate comment.

The "frenzy" of the 2nd half seemed to be a very appropriate comment. Agreed, Ling and Moncur were excellent. The thwack when Maskell scored is still the best sound in football! Title: Re: Gutted Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Thursday, August 5, 2010, 21:00:34 The thing I remember most of the day is what a load of cunts the Leicester fans were both before and after the game.
The Sunderland fans from our previous final were much better losers (ie they were ok sharing the Champagne we had in the car park after the game). Whereas the Leicestrr fans we met after just wanted a fight. Title: Re: Gutted Post by: Saxondale on Friday, August 6, 2010, 00:32:49 We drove the wrong way out of wembley and were in the Leicester traffic, in a car festooned in red and white. We weren't popular. They were still pretty sore about it in leicester in 95 when I moved there. Enjoyed winding the fuckers up!

I drove in to Wembley and out with the Leicester traffic, as Bedford is that way on the A1. Driving up the A1 after the match with the red scarves flying, past all the blue and white flags was fun... |
