The best match I have ever been to as a city fan.

That tackle and pass by Benno and the finish from Gynn.

Hugging complete strangers and disbelief at the final whistle.

Good old Telegraph quality reporting.
What a day at Hillsborough all be it missing the first goal hearing the roar outside at realising Leeds had scored when we got in.

Quite a good recollection of the day. States 6000 outside at kick off so delayed 15 mins.

Both amazing games. We were brilliant against Wednesday, but it could have gone either way against Leeds. The noise was immense.

I was convinced the ball was out and the goal would be disallowed. Glynn is a post man now I believe !!

Fantastic!
My dad got us there 4 hours early...and I’m pretty sure kick-off was delayed for a bit too...it did mean we got the choice of the best place to stand.
I also remember the inevitability of our win. AfterRennie scored I remember thinking ‘we’re still going to win this’. Not a feeling I’ve had many times since!
Great day! The drive back to cov was great too!

Gynn was a postie, not sure if he is now?

I’ve seen him at quite a few games - home and away - over recent years. He seems to working in some capacity...scout? Journalist?

I think he compiles the Opta and press Association stats ? Also is associated with who gets credited with goals? .?

Personally I felt we played poorly that day and for me the final whistle was a relief. The walk back to the car and the drive back home was unbelievable. My dad was in tears; ‘we are going to Wembley son, we are going to Wembley’

That’s great. When we were driving back through cov I remember some bloke had come out of his house and was raising a glass to/toasting all the cars as they passed.

On this day- I cried and my old man had just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I wondered why he didn’t jump out of his chair at the final whistle.

A great day that was-any remember Big Cyrille that day? Couldn’t score for toffee!
