you were not alive in 1786 haha could not be true lolCity 5-4 v Norwich (Blyth saved a last minute penalty to stop a 5-5) on Boxing Day in 1786
Fantastic game, shame there's no footage of it. And Blythy did the same a couple of weeks later against Liverpool when we won 1-0. Norwich game was actually on 27th but we remember it as a Boxing Day game. Maybe one of those unofficial "Boxing Days" due to 26th being a Sunday? Can't be bothered to check!City 5-4 v Norwich (Blyth saved a last minute penalty to stop a 5-5) on Boxing Day in 1786
Yeah I remember that one. We all drank a toast to mad king George at half time.City 5-4 v Norwich (Blyth saved a last minute penalty to stop a 5-5) on Boxing Day in 1786
Didn’t Chris White play in that game?
He did. I remember it as the game Lars Bohinen was substituted because he couldn't see the orange ball & it turned out he was colour blind. The game was actually on January 9th, so not as festive as it appearsDidn’t Chris White play in that game?
Best yuletide game ever?

Is that the one when Whelan was sent off? We won that 3-1, Huckerby was brilliant that dayLeeds away 3-2 I think. Huckerby goals, oggy penno save, loads of snow on the way home
If you are talking about Bobby Gould (sorry if I've got that wrong) but wasn't it a 5-1 defeat at QPR on Boxing Day that saw him off?The most hilarious if memory serves me correct was back to back games away at Leicester and Luton. A pitch invasion by our manager two thrashings and thank god his sacking.
A 4-2 win at Luton, a 4-0 win against Liverpool, a 5-1 defeat at Leicester with Steve Lynex taking us apart. Still 4th in the table at Christmas.The most hilarious if memory serves me correct was back to back games away at Leicester and Luton. A pitch invasion by our manager two thrashings and thank god his sacking.
Gould resigned after the 5-1 at QPR, wasn't a boxing day game thoughIf you are talking about Bobby Gould (sorry if I've got that wrong) but wasn't it a 5-1 defeat at QPR on Boxing Day that saw him off?
2nd spellGould resigned after the 5-1 at QPR, wasn't a boxing day game though
Yes, meant to say that2nd spell
I was sitting in the main stand at Filbert St with a Lestah supporting mate for that game. Willie Thorn was sitting behind me & grinning at me just about the whole game... Bobby Gould did indeed start walking on the pitch to have words with the ref but changed his mind after after 10 or 15 yards and returned to the dugout. Lineker was on fire that game too. Our defence should have been thrown on a fire....The most hilarious if memory serves me correct was back to back games away at Leicester and Luton. A pitch invasion by our manager two thrashings and thank god his sacking.
Leeds away 3-2 I think. Huckerby goals, oggy penno save, loads of snow on the way home
