Best City game.....ever?!?!?

[Rob_the_Saint]

We did, 5-2 I recall, with a certain Michael Danzey getting a couple.

[Laz]

Are you sure?

 

Michael Danzey's record shows that he played 0, scored 0, ...

 

Is the Website's stats page incomplete?

 

I've been trying to find the line-up for that game but can't.

 

If you click on a player's season it launches one five years after the one you want!

 

What's going on, Robster/Webbo?

I don't think we've met, but I'm an old timer down at City. I've been away on a RTW trip for 18 months and with the exception of a quick return at the end of last season, I've been watching this season from afar. Anyway, currently in SE Asia, i ran into a guy, probably in his forties, who is a York City fan. The first non-league fan i have met on this trip i might add. He did say that the 4-2 score was their most embarrasing result in history. bit harsh i thought. Anyway, i dont know why i have gone into all this really. probably the Singha beers. Im off for a green curry. Nil Nil Phill

Which season was it? I was just a little'un.

[TomDavisPonyTail]

August 94 beat them 5-3 away.

December 94, 8-3 at home.

St. Albans City 1 Bedford Town 3 was a particularly good game...

 

In all seriousness though, as earlier posts have indicated, Bedford Town 4 St. Albans City 5 was one of the greatest games I've ever seen, even as a Bedford fan...

I think it was the December 91 game I remember, as Danzey was at Cambridge United after that (92-95).

I Remember that one well, Mitch had given Muddy the Job of looking after a certain Jimmy Bolton unfortunately for us and Muddy he was on fire that day and scored a first half Hat Trick, Muddy got dragged at half time and we all got a massive bollocking from Mitch and Ketts.
We came out a different team and scored five in the second half and should have been more, AH Happy Days

That sounds about right for the year,I think by then Allan Cockram was the manager and he made us turn up for the home game in full seventies fancy dress, you should have seen the looks on the kingstonian players faces HA HA, Bretty and Wilco could hardly walk there platforms were so high.
Needless to say we battered them on the pitch with Cockers tactics of attack,attack,attack football.

[Terminal]

Allan Cockram had some novel ideas, like getting the defenders & forwards to swap positions for the first 10 mins of one game so the opposition wouldn't know who to mark!

Yeah,Purfleet at Home,I ended up playing bloody left wing HA HA

[AFF]

Three nil down after ten minutes but they jolly well wont know who to mark for the last 80, then?

No we won AFF, We had played them four times that season and Cockers thought it would throw them a little bit, It worked because they knew us so well and couldn't work out what was going on with Clarky at Centre Half and Murph's centre forward
Very Funny at the time

[Sensible]

I'm fairly sure that Brian Stein was in that team. I seem to remember him starting at Centre Half and thinking that there was no way that he would have ever played there before.

[Albanious]

I remember that game, i arrived in the ground 5 minutes after kick off & it took me another 5 minutes to work out what was going on.

 

What is Cockram doing now?

I seem to remember collecting playing-cards-shaped cards of Shaun Brett, Trevor Wilkinson and Barry Blackman on them (didn't manage to get to a SwapShop to get you though, Maldini).

Anyone else collect 'em, or was it just me?

[Sensible]

Yes, Saints V Sinners cards. They had a crime prevention message on the back of each of them. There's a framed set of them in the clubhouse.
