🏟 Venue: Highbury
Which goal stood out the most?
Who was your Man of the Match?
Did we dominate, or was it a close contest?
One of my favourite away games, not sure how many City were there, but it wasn't a lot due to the rebuilding.
Always liked the trip to Highbury too
A guy who sits behind us went to an evening with Mickey Quinn the night before the game he was the special guest at half-time & said he was brilliantWent to a Mickey Quinn evening a few months ago - obviously one of his main topics and a finest moment - very funny talk - had a chat to him about Frank - he was very positive
helmet was a weapon of muppet destructionI went on my bike and the stewards wouldn't let me take my helmet in so they took it off me and told me I could get it at the end of the game. When the game finished I told a steward what had happened but he didn't know where the other steward had put it, he finally found it in one of the turnstiles after 20 minutes searching.
Arsenal had won both cups the previous season and they were planning a pitch walk after the game, not sure how many fans were left at the end and if they bothered with it.
My memory seems to think that Arsenal missed a penalty in the 2nd half
A year or 2 later when we won 3-1 at Spurs I refused to give them my helmet because of what happened at Highbury, apparently the steward thought it was a weapon and I might throw it on the pitch to which I replied "How am I going to get home?"hele

No they cancelled the cup parade which I absolutely love.I went on my bike and the stewards wouldn't let me take my helmet in so they took it off me and told me I could get it at the end of the game.

TBH I read the first line and thought "this is one of peteccfc's stories isn't it"?I went on my bike and the stewards wouldn't let me take my helmet in so they took it off me and told me I could get it at the end of the game.

Good god, man, the chap seized your helmet not your peddles or Sturmey Archer group set.A year or 2 later when we won 3-1 at Spurs I refused to give them my helmet because of what happened at Highbury, apparently the steward thought it was a weapon and I might throw it on the pitch to which I replied "How am I going to get home?"
