I do now actually remember seeing the goals before, so they must have been lodged in my subconscious all this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 @admira what a truly superb, memory and nostalgia fuelled topic. I've only just caught up with it. Special mention to @jameso as well. I'm nearly as consistent as you at being 1 year out! admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably take a day off but the prospect of finally getting the correct year is too great to resist... Chorley away (FA Cup 3rd round) in... wait for it... 2021! (And even now I'm doubting myself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 You got it! Would've been difficult to be too far out as it's pretty recent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cor, there's even a "crowd rating" at the end there too! 95... presumably out of 100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 59. Year, opponents, memories. Tricky one today, I've posted it because it was Paul Blades only ever Derby goal. This game has a bit of significance for me that I'll explain later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Not a clue which game this is but I will say that I was almost as upset at Paul Blades leaving as I was when George Williams left. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry 1989, only remembered because of Blades goal. Game was the week before the Hillsborough Disaster i think. Sat in C Stand, goal was in the Normanton End an absolute screamer from 25 yards. admira 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife was very heavily pregnant at the time and went into labour on Sunday 2nd while the highlights show was on. I kept saying 'yes I'll drive you to hospital once I've seen the Derby goal'! Eventually our daughter popped out in record time! And yes, two weeks later, I recall sitting on the sofa holding the wee baby, watching the awful events at Hillsborough unfold on TV.
