I'll throw a random one in and it's plural.
Wigan 2005 at Highfield Road were outstanding with Nathan Ellington scoring a wonder volley from the far extreme of the box.They had a front line of Jason Roberts, Nathan Ellington and Shaun Teale.i remember them winning 2-1 and think they finished 2nd to get promoted.Champions were a certain Northeast team in red and white
Very good side going forwardYes I remember that game well- the whole buildup was their forward line, and it didn't disappoint.
Slightly random one but in terms of a one off performance- Villa away 1989/90- they beat us 4-1 and Ian Ormondroyd absolutely destroyed Brian Borrows all game, he couldn't get near him. I think you can see that on youtube and actually see one time where Borrows got skinned by the lanky one..
Mcmanaman for Liverpool and Ray Wilkins for Man U
Both players ran their respective games so easily. Star players around them, but they were the ones that just controlled it all
Three stand out for me:
-Shearer in one of his first games for Blackburn. The most complete centre forward performance you are likely to see. What a player he was before injuries slowed him down.
-Barnes when Liverpool beat us 6-1 in the final game of the season after they won the League. International class.
-And the one that really hurt. Sheffield United's keeper in the FA Cup quarter final at home. Best performance by a keeper I've ever seen.
God they looked good that night .I'll throw a random one in and it's plural.

That was such an underhand thing to do, sack him when he was ill. Employing Butcher was always going to be risky. Why should a great player be a great manager? If they really wanted him to come in, surely he could have been Sillett’s assistant to the end of the season when I think John intended to retire anyway. Perhaps he would have picked up something from the great man that would have served him well in his future. He has failed everywhere he has been, including here (possible exception being Motherwell?).That Liverpool game was the day John Sillett should have called it quits as manager. He lost a bit of goodwill by going straight to the Liverpool fans and applauding them before his own fans- the game had moved on and we had an ageing team. Should have been planned right there instead of hanging on & getting Butcher in to decimate the club.

That season, Regis played the best football of his Coventry career, he wasn’t scoring many goals but his overall performances were sublime. Whether Butcher felt that such an established player was a threat to him, I don’t know.Cyrille was released despite indicating that he would be happy to sign a new contract and stay. Robert Rosario came in and was never going to fill Cyrille’s boots. A badly handled appointment, and a bad appointment.

If that’s the game that they won 6-1 at HR then it was a player called Ronny Rosenthal that totally tore us apart.
Finished 19thGod they looked good that night .
Can't remember how we were doing at the time.
