Yes - Bozzie saved it with his legs after coming on for the injured Spinksy.

Then there were some entertaining post-match interviews:-
Newbon:- "Did the occasion get to you, cos you're not used to playing in front of full houses? "
Frain:- "...I just didn't hit it properly..."
Newbon:- "Well, we're going to show you that penalty miss..."
Frain:- "_ _ _ _"

I remember BFR saying something about how much B-lose had improved under Terry Cooper. "If that would have been a few months ago I wouldn't have bothered bringing a goalie on".

Oh, and fair play to the Villa fan in their end jumping up and down at the penalty save. Wonder if he got a bit of a pasting like I did when I went in the Kop.

ViD; Spinky was injured, rather than sent off, wasn't he?
I thought Bosnich came straight off the bench to save Frain's penalty after Spinky got his marching orders.  Could be my memory playing tricks, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning´.

I have the souvenir VHS of that cup run that could confirm it, but it's in the basement.  My memory itself is so bad, I thought Bosnich was already our first choice by then.

Bit pedant but Sanchez has played CB before (Sunderland away, admittedly we were 4 up at the time).

Snap Re the VHS. Transferring all the VHS to a hard drive has been one of the never got around to jobs of the last 5 years.

Spink was injured, the penalty was shortly after the change.

But I'd thought the same for years till I saw the footage, and I was there.

I think the penalty was for a real 'striker's' tackle by Dalian Atkinson which he didn't need to make.

Very true - transferred the VHS (now buried somewhere in the attic) via capturecard to PC about ten years ago.

Central Sports special with Bob Hall & Greasie™ (minus Stain™)

Spinksy got clattered against the post and was replaced by Bozzie.
Then, later on, Atkinson made a classic striker's tackle on Andy...ahem...Saville.

And the rest...as they say...is history.

So...here it is...with some crappy editing to get it below the 15 minute mark...

(any advice on yewchoobe description or tagging would be welcome)



(with extra-added bonus "Sid" footage)

Thanks bugdozer, great to see that again.
I love BFR's comments at the end about McGrath.
' It was a penalty. I thought Macca had started playing Gaelic football.'
Refreshing to hear that instead of, 'I didn't see it'.

You're welcome.
It's also very refreshing to hear BFR say "Sarrnders".
