For that Blues game Mel and my mate had seats in the lower Trinity, don't ask me why, we never went there at all. It pissed so hard on us that we abandoned the seats and went to the back of them where there was a bit of shelter.I will never ever forget Noël Blake picking up the ball for the penalty turning to Blues supporters in the Witton End and giving the big fist pump. Five seconds later we were celebrating wildly, more than when we actually scored. Just looking at that useless fucker standing there having missed was worth the soaking AND the money to get in.

Withe scored right near the end I seem to recall, prodding the ball through the keeper's legs and it rolled agonisingly into the net, taking what seemed like ages. We were halfway up the Holte and by the time the celebrations came to an end, she was in a completely different section. The last I saw of her was her falling away in front of me as the crowd surged forward. I used to love the days when you had to arrive a couple of hours before KO to get in the queue to guarantee you'd get inOnly goal of the game. That was early in the '83-'84 season and Van Den Hauwe's back pass got stuck on the wet pitch and Peter Withe nipped in to score. I don't remember it being particularly late in the game though. A few months previously we beat them by the same scoreline 1-0 on Easter Monday ans Gary Shaw did get a late goal around the 80th minute I think. The game you are talking about is possibly the only derby when the 'dislike' on the pitch beat the 'dislike' in the stands.Noel Blake hilariously missed a penalty by striking he ball along the ground in a waterlogged area. It barely reached Spinky.Game aka "The battle of Brum".

Although I can't remember which actually came first, the missed pen or the 'goal'.
Your wish is my command young sir.
Any of the three goals that helped relegate Coventry City. One being Angel's first goal for the club.Still remember Merson's winner.
Stanley Victor against A. Madrid, the Holte End actually shook that night.
Did anyone on here witness Paul Mortimer's infamous v-sign salute to the Holte after scoring?
