Title: Sheff Weds (h) 1994. Sir Brian of Little's first game as manager.
Post by: Deano's Mullet on March 09, 2016, 05:20:28 AM: had to settle for watching this live on SKY. We played pretty well first half, they took control second and then scored a classic long ranger which any other season Peter Atherton would have put over the crossbar. It took me a while to get used to seeing someone else running BFR's team but as we all know it turned out ok in the end.

Atherton hadn't scored for about four years and then twatted that one in to the top corner! I was only 12 but remember it well, I too watched it on Sky round my mate's place and his mom shouted for a penalty when one of our players was brought down outside the box.
