A 43 minute video has been made about their win if you can bring yourself to watch it https://www.eadt.co.uk/sport/ipswich-town/itfc-wembley-200-film-9002050 Still raw even now is that. Win that game and our history would have been different.
Does it show Wright’s save from Hristov? All highlights I’ve seen since have never shown it. Thought it was in all the way at the time for 3-3. Looked a wonder save but maybe my memory is playing up….
Me too mate. As gutted as I've ever been after a game of football. I'll include relegation in that. Even this season's shower doesn't compare.
The penalty miss at 1-1 was gut wrenching. This is a nice video if you can somehow forget they were playing against Barnsley in the final.
I sold a spare ticket to a so called Barnsley fan at face value near Wembley , went in ground and a Spaniard had bought it for 4 times price . A good day out still apart from result
Longest return home, (solo) from a match ever. My brother lived in Marlow at the time. Met a load of mates when I got back to Leeds. If Barnard's pen had gone in I'm convinced we would have won. As it was, it was a slide down to roughly where we are now. Nowhere.
Feel all your hurt. 22 years ago I had no interest in Barnsley but had many cup final heart breaks following United. And the hurt never goes. I always say. Just remember the good times. They are precious .
Agreed - no blame attached to that decision. However - for playing Brown ahead of Scott Jones (or he could have even played Eaden with Curtis moved to the right hand side of the back three) I personally think Bassett should be brought back to Oakwell and be ritually drybummed behind the Ponty End every year on the anniversary of the game.
