    I was there. I have this recollection of Lineker playing for them, but the memory does play tricks!

    After the match there was a nutter in the car park who drove out in a right rage; smashed into 6 or7 other cars on the way out.

    I have it on good authority that, as the Leicester defender, Hill, watched Bullock scamper past him and realising he couldn't match the nine stone mini for pace, he shouted words to the effect, 'go on then, have a shot, I dare you.' Martin took him on his word and I bet Hill was left eating his as the ball smashed into the top corner. A memorable goal from a player who hardly ever scored, but who always caused defenders problems. Happy memories.

    Sure Lineker played and Alan Smith might've been upfront alongside him?
