STFC v Leicester 93 Highlights - BT Sport 6 am Saturday (tomorrow!)

[Ginginho]

Or, just watch it tonight!

Amazing how much the game has changed since then. There were two tackles in that first half (from Shaun Taylor and Ross Mclaren) that would've been straight reds in today's game, but not even a flinch then. What a game that was. I'm getting excited now.

incredible day.
Scenes in old town after...well never seen anything, or had a night like it before or since.

oh and also the trip down the M4 after and the spontanaeous banners and crowds on the bridges from hungerford on...amazing..

For a pre match confidence boost the 1990 highlights are much more fun.  A glorious 1-0 thrashing.

I had been pondering the Sheff Utd game recently, the town end, how its was buzzing, how every single person in there seemed to be up for it that particular evening (normally its about 10) and how the atmosphere was as good as anything I can remember apart from perhaps the Lou days...then after watching the Leicester game, there was a link to this game below..had a quick shufty, and the Lou days came back to me once more...listen at about 1.05.10.

Those were good days when the TE and old south stand used to alternate Lou Macaris...

That was the first STFC game I attended that wasn't at the County Ground, as a ten year old - I remember being in complete awe at the amount of noise that was made all evening long - I look back on that match even more fondly than Wembley in 1990 or 1993.

Also one of my first away games at 18 we had a coach from the Lamb pub in Lambourn with bags full of celery the singing that night was second to none I think there were 10k Town fans .

38.10 is great aswell with our fans shouting rather than chanting More of the same on Sunday please.

I started going about then (86-87) as an 8/9 year old.
I still remember vividly the back and forth of the "Lou Macari's Red & White Army" and how amazing it was. It used to go on for 20 minutes or more sometimes.

The tackle from Taylor on Oldfield was pure class mind you.

Oh yeah, I totally agree, it was a great tackle. Just saying that in today's game that would probably be a red card.

Yep. Coz no one got over excited and started speed clapping after 40seconds.

A day I will never ever forget.

I remember being the only one of my family (12 of us there) that could actually watched the penalty.

You're right. Ah yes. The old slight change in key with renewed vigour.  Immense. I always thought we had support back then to be really proud of. Nowadays, by and large with a few exceptions it's pretty embarrassing. Let's hope tomorrow is a day we can be proud of at least.

In fact anyone with any sort of IT skills should trim out that forty second or so section and start a new thread with it to act as inspiration for tomorrow.

Just watched this for the first time with it being before my time.
Did I hear our fans chant 'bye bye Gillingham' at one point? Also, 'You'll never walk alone' did we sing that a lot back then?

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Only when it was a really big game and we were doing well/on our way to winning i.e. that Gillingham game. I also remember it being sung vigorously a couple of years before when we knocked Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday out of the League Cup as a 4th Division side.
