[Official Site] PAUL COOPER RECALLED

Wasn't that our first ever away victory over City? Something stupid like 30 games and only drawn maybe a couple of them...

 

I'm not sure. Most of our games against them are well before my time. I lived through the era when we drew with them or beat them all the time. The game above, the famous victory in the League Cup with 33,000+ in Oakwell, the double over them in the promotion season to the Premier League, Curtis and Hignett giving them what for during Bassett's season. And then football stopped being football.

 

Think I was at that game, I was living in Manchester at the time in my placement year.

 

That was a brilliant diving header from their keeper, while laying down on the ground lol. He was obviously trying to take the credit away from Stevie Agnew.
I like seeing highlights of that '88 season, the Lyons Cakes all red n white Liverpool style kit, and Cooper n Currie up front. Clarkey's last good season with us as well, as it turned out.
And I think Man City won at Oakwell early on in the season, so it wasn't a league double.

 

Yes 1989. Then same scoreline 1996.
Since 81 won 6, lost 8, drawn 4 overall. Home and away. A decent record in any language.
On that memorable day in 1996 at home. When we battered em 2-0. I scored 4 penalties in front of the Ponty..
But claimed 5. As I said goalie moved. Afore I took one he saved.
£10 in club shop for each goal scored.

 

Loved that era, when l look back on my younger days that's the era l remember.
