Man City came to Teesside to avange the league cup defeat they suffered the previous month, 3rd December
Unlike the league cup match, Man City took the lead, controlled the game & looked as though they could gain the revenge they wanted, but the Boro that season were made of sterner stuff
Lennie Lawrence had us fighting on all fronts & for each other, in another remarkable season following the mighty Boro & the evidence was shown in the final 10 minutes of the cup tie when we scored 2 late, late, late goals in a minute to knock out Man City, go through to the next round & a cup double over the big boys from Manchester
At the beginning of the match when showing the team line up it has our erimus badge, awesome
Watching the match you can still feel the atmosphere when we equalise, then when the winner goes in you can jump around the room, a great cup tie for me that I still look back on as one of the best at AP
Lennies breath taking team of the day
Stephen Pears
Gary Parkinson
Jimmy Phillips
Alan Kernaghan
Nicky Mohan
Robbie Mustoe
Bernie Slaven
Jamie Pollock
Paul Wilkinson
Andy Peake
Stuart Ripley
Subs
No12 John Hendrie
No14 Andy Payton
After all these years that footage still gives me goosebumps, the shot of the south terrace after Kernaghan scores is a great brilliant
