I've just sent the Port Vale 4-4 video to a mate who was actually lucky enough to be at the Barcelona game last night just so he can now see the best ever footballing comeback having just witnessed the second best! And while searching for the video I found this little gem which I hadn't seen before. Great little insight from Rufus especially liked his genuine belief that the ref let us off what would have been the 5-0 goal even though it was way over the line because the ref felt sorry for us. Don't remember it tbh. Could be true I suppose. If so we should induct the ref in to Forever R's!
The 5th goal that wasn't given was up the other end so we weren't aware of it at the time. I doubt the ref felt sorry for us, it was down to an incompetent Lino. I can vouch for the fact the stewards felt sorry for us. When the 4th PV goal went in I threw my gloves at Tony Roberts,on tv they appear to the right of his goal. A steward saw me, gave me a bollocking and said 'if you weren't losing 4-0 I'd have you arrested and kicked out". I then jumped onto the back of the goal netting when we equalised. What a great day that was.

That always makes me laugh when I see that clip of someone's woolly gloves being launched at Roberts and its good to know it was someone on here , to be honest he would have been better off playing in your mittens or even oven gloves as he was fcuking useless looking back we did have a cracking away support, for a dreary Sunday afternoon game in Port Vale
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I was at the station heading back to Manchester having a drink with a couple of mates returning south, when we got talking to the commentator Peter Brackley.
He told us about the 'fifth' goal, which we couldn't see down the away end. It was the improbability of the comeback that couldn't be envisaged. We were truly awful in the first half. Having witnessed the 5-5 and the 3-3 at Stockport, this was more amazing because we were so poor and no doubt, some were on the road home as Spenny equalised. Lord knows, I was nearly one of them.

So poor that when their player scored our first goal we sang 'sign him up'

Mittens ? MITTENS?? I have a certain sartorial elegance to uphold. They were skiing gloves, in blue (naturally) with silver go fast faster bits down the sides. Watch how fast they flew from my hands like a souped up paper plane. They cost a fiver in a Bulgarian ski resort a week before.

What I can't believe is how a team that had just come down, but contained the likes of Macca, Sinclair, Impey, Brevett, Spencer, plus Maddix coming on at HT was so bad in the first half. There's some decent R's players amongst that lot.

it was the whole season they underperformed and you can chuck in spencer& Peacock as well to that squad the whole club had a horrible billy bollox attitude , the players thought they were to good for the league, Houston & rioch thought they were to good for QPR & Wright thought he could throw cash around for instant promotion no wonder Macca went stir crazy

I was at university at the time, and I remember clear as day listening to this on the radio while I was completely failing to finish a massive dissertation that was long overdue and I'd left to the last minute as usual.
The game was on a Sunday, so must have been live on ITV up north but wasn't on in London, in that weird way live football worked back then.
I was buzzing so much when the equaliser went in I then nailed about 5000 words in a few hours, finished the bloody thing, and got it in on time.
A 4-4 draw with Port Vale saved my degree

I remember it all too bloody well. I remember Houston during that season whistling on the touchline, and players turning round to look at him and shrug their shoulders, gesticulating as if to say "what? I haven't a clue what you're trying to say". That team should have been so much better than they were. I'd even chuck Paul Murray into the 'under achiever' category. Not sure why but I quite liked him - seemed a tidy player. Actually, makes me think of that bloke we got from Brizzle City that should have been good for us but wasn't. Tommy Doherty.
