Standing in the Pontoon as usual for that one. They were a class team, too good for us on the day (obviously, as the scoreline shows).

Quoted from gytone

Ace penalty taker.

I was there as well. A lot of West Ham fans made the trip up north.  The defeat was our last outside-chance of getting into the Premiership (equiv).   We had had high ambitions in those days and a good team.

We were unlucky during the game but well beaten by the end.

West Ham had 7 or 8 players in the Team of the Season.

I remember it well. I'm sure it was 4 goals David Cross scored.

The game was near the end of the season and I think that we'd only conceded 4 goals in total at home all season until that game.

I was at this game, from what I remember, it was raining heavily, gluepot of a pitch.

I think Bobby Cummings had to go off injured towards the end leaving us a man short when we were two down.

They then made their class tell. tearing us apart with ease.

Very interesting thread on there regarding Sky and its sports channels. I thought it was only me that thought like that! Refreshing to see fans of a Premier League club also angry at what Sky and the greedy Premier League have done to the game.
