One of the goals came from a corner; Dublin was stood on the edge of the six-yard box, as he did, and Sinclair was marking him. Sinclair was scurrying around Dublin, circling him, almost as if he was trying to shake him off. Corner came in, Dublin, pretty much stood still, swivelled his head and goal. It was one of the strangest bits of 'defending' I've ever seen.
Anyway, the game when Chelsea forgot their kit is my favourite ever game from Highfield Road. We were fucking brilliant and the atmosphere was raw; so much at stake and it felt so intense.
You're getting the games mixed up. The first game of the following season was the one around the time of Diana's death, though I'm pretty sure it was before. This game where Whelan scored was in April on a Wednesday night.It was one of my favourite matches at Highfield Road.
As you say there was a lot at stake.
It was just a few days after Princess Diana died, and they played that candle in the wind song before the start. And the kickoff was delayed 15mins due to congestion.
Fantastic atmosphere. The relief when Whelan went through and passed the 3rd into an empty net.....
Although i think my favourite game at Highfield Road for some reason is (strangely) that 4-3 defeat to Leeds, possibly the following season. Another crazy atmosphere, the Leeds fans were playing up and i remember them singing all the way through half-time about "going on a European tour". Even though we lost it was everything great about Highfield Road.

It was. I think because Chelsea forgot their kit.You're quite right.
I'm sure the match above was delayed 15mins though.
Yes I think that's rightYou're quite right.

Always thought that about the goal , went with my dad and older brother. Then into the diplomatAmazing night, remember shouting that the first goal was just like Shearer's v Netherlands Euro 96, with Snowy in the Sheringham role.
They thought they could rock up to the sky BLUES and play in blue.It was. I think because Chelsea forgot their kit.
