Boxing Day was 1992 season when Paul McGrath could hardly stand and Fatty Quinn scored a hat-trick. The 2-0 was the week after the Wimbledon disaster in 1990. They scored when Mountfield was off injured and we never recovered. The police were utter twats, telling everyone they had to sit then standing in front so you couldn't see unless you stood up. Only bright side was I got on the telly, which was fairly exciting for a nine year old.

It was a shit defeat alright, that Coventry team was utter garbage. David Smith torturing us, and going on to do precisely fuck all ever again, mostly for the rags.

Kevin Drinkell scores for them I’m sure when Mountfield was injured? Always looked overweight and jaundiced that lad.

I remember the Boxing Day game at home to Man Utd in 90, we were brilliant and tore the arse of them, granted they were having a very poor league season, but McGrath was God that day and Platt the best midfielder in the country at the time. The surge in the lower Holte when Platt took it round their keeper to put us 2-0 was mad.

He had his own personal goal of the season contest that year, and you probably wouldn't count any in the top three the team scored, yet they were all fabulous.

I always enjoyed trips to the two Sheffield clubs. Usually a big away allocation and a decent view. I was at that game and remembered Parker scored a good goal. But it wasn't until I just looked up who the other scorer was that I remembered he scored two that day. I knew it was 'early doors' in the season.

I was there that day too, the first goal was early and the second late.
I enjoyed the trips to Sheffield for the same reason, plus it's pretty easy to get to.

I seem to recall we were flying a Villa scarf out of the car window which caused a couple of their fans to bang on the car and give us a few verbals when we parked up.

His goal vs QPR away the following season was a stunner too.

Going back to the Fashanu chat, here's the QPR game that season complete with Teale\Bosnich argument about a free kick.

.

And missed a sitter at Norwich in a vital game at the back end of the season, we want on to lose that game.

He scored a blinder at Derby in the cup when we won 4-3. Might not have been 92/93 though, can't remember.

4-3 at Derby was 91/92 and I think that was Parker's debut.

Think it's harsh to describe Parker's chance at Naaaarch as a sitter. He was wide of the goal on his 'wrong' foot and clipped the post.
