On the big match revisited this morning - itv4 at 8.30am for anyone that's up this time of the morning.

Blimey - I didn't remember any of that! Quite incredible. Derby fans we're appaling really and I feel quite sorry for Fulham - think they we're hard done by.

Is there an "ITV4+1"

i dont remember Jones ??

He came in for Lineker who got injured. He scored in the vital win at Oldham(I think) the week before.

Loved the interview with him in the changing room.
With Lineker in the background in his 80's suit supping Champagne

I do, IIRC, there was a City programme with 4 youth internationals on the front cover. 1 from each home nation.
Rob Jones for Wales, anyone remember who the other 3 were?

I was at the game. Robert Jones had come in for Lineker(injury) in the previous game against Oldham and scored. I always remember a feature in a City programme on the youth internationals that we had - Jones (Wales), Andrews (England), Kelly (Eire), Rennie (Scotland).

Burnley included Lee Dixon and Trevor Steven.

It wasn't a great game, but the atmosphere was amazing. The ground was full to capacity and we all invaded the pitch to celebrate with the players, although we were still awaiting the result of the Derby/Fulham game.

My Dad told me whilst we were watching it, that there were thousands of fans coming over the bridge, so they thought it was called off, but somehow his father got them into the game. Apparently it was so full you could hardly move!

I worked in Lytham at the time - on my way home we drove passed the Football League headquarters in St Annes - all the reporters were outside so I pulled over to ask one of the journalists if he'd heard anything - " just found out that Leicester are promoted after Fulhams appeal has been turned down " he replied - that was the best trip home from work I've ever had - was it really nearly 30yrs ago - frightening

The ground was more or less full by 2.15pm and the atmosphere was electric.
