That was the 2nd Season of going to the games home and away for me. Some great memories. I'd actually forgotten that Le Tissier actually started off in the No.11 shirt. About 10 games into the season Le Tiss and Rod Wallace swapped and he became forever No.7. |  |

Went to a fair few games that season
The ones that stick out were 2-1 win away at Spurs with Cockerill scoring a brace, 1-1 draw away at Luton in the cup when GC scored at absolute belter, the Newcastle game when Ruddock scored a penalty in the last couple of minutes after going over 20 games without a win and beating Man U ninth last home game to ensure we stayed up. I also bought my first paper copy of the UI outside the pub on Northlands Road before the game that day too |  |

I just loved Chris Nichols 4-2-4 formation with inverted wingers Rod and Matt. Very attacking at the time for a Manager that was a defender and they normally have that defensive mindset, but not Chris!
I did like the Hummel kit, particularly the yellow away one. Unfortunately a girlfriend at the time put it in a tumble drier by accident and it didn't survive (I'd have had to lose about 3 stone to get into it again!)
I also remember buying The Ugly in it's famous Red and White stripes cover back in the day. It was far better than the programme. I remember when Colin Clarke left and ended up at Pompey, they took the piss by saying, You heard of Edward Scissorhands, but now we have Colin Shovelfeet" | |

The 89-91 Hummel home shirt is probably my favourite of all time, wasn't that keen on the Denmark one, do still have the one I bought at the time though
Still have all my old UI's and OTM's, found them in my mums loft when I was having a clear out a few years ago | |
