Bet that season flew by........

The only team I can remember with a pink away kit around that time was Brighton. It wasn't really pink, it was red and white, but it looked pink from a distance. But we didn't beat them 4-2. We didn't beat Port Vale 4-2 either.


Maybe it was a reserve game

Did sheff u have their pink away kit that far back?

 

[ashmeister08]

First game of 86/87. We lost 2-1 I think, remember Ian Andrews in goal, not much else.

Did sheff u have their pink away kit that far back?

Sheff U had their Pink away kit when Marcus Bent was playing for them. I don't think we were in the same division at the time.

The signs are there.

I think I may have been taken to games before this, but the first that I can definitely remember was:

25th October 1980, Leicester 2 Wolves 0

Nearly 28 years ago. Supporting City though, it seems like longer! I was seven. We sat in the family bit behind the goal at the Filbert Street end.

All I can remember is that Wolves had two famous players - Andy Gray and Emlyn Hughes. I think...?

I'd love to know more, by the way (Boc :icon_bigg)
