I remember it too. Think I was in my late 70's.

Can't remember Rennie scoring two though.

Honking season... That game, Wimbledon away & Noel Whelan's goals were the only highlights.

Even the Spurs comeback was tossed away by losing to Wolves away next round.

It was the year I got my first season ticket; set me up for life that did.

Orange ball and Chris Whyte?

I don't remember Rennie scoring, either.

I remember him getting an equaliser when we had nine men against Wimbledon, though.


Also, this was a period when we played Blackburn, someone would get hammered. Sometimes us, sometimes them.

I've just watched the highlights; he didn't.

He got the third, Nuddy got the fourth.

Remember it well. Snow covered pitch - they just didn’t turn up. That midfield of Rennie and Darby still haunts me.

Was also my first season ticket.

Despite having been going to HR since the end of 92, this was the first real big memory.

Although looking back at the footage, it looks fairly dreadful in a half-empty stadium.

I remember this. My Dad went Xmas shopping so I took my mate. Bryan Richardson told my dad if we won he’d pay for him to go shopping every week. Never did the bastard.

This is the game that Lars Bohinen was substituted off as he couldn't see the orange ball & was subsequently diagnosed with colour blindness
