On the criteria chosen by Mr Russell I would go for Villa v Ipswich in 1976. A dreary 0-0 snooze fest by two inept teams. The game was so tepid that the main talking point was a flock of pigeons encamped on the pitch in the second half, a fact picked up by the Evening Mail.In the final minutes in the only action of note, Chris Nicholl hit a bazooka from 35 yards which hit the bar and Andy Gray went in for the rebound and booted the Ipswich keeper in the face. Play stopped for several minutes and he lost a few teeth IIRC. I can’t recall if he went off though as I’d probably nodded off by then.
Leeds away , League Cup , 1991. Lost 4-1. Leeds scum giving it large.
Oldham away when they had the plastic pitch. The rain was coming uphill at us.

Or maybe Oldham ten years later.

What I am pretty sure of is that later that night the Gulf War kicked off.
