Going to enjoy this. Have no idea what happened. Its like if you manage to avoid the scores the highlights are always more exciting. Well I managed to avoid the whole fkin season. Don’t tell me what happens. Ah did Cloughie slap someone? Don’t tell me!

The season turns around once Trevor Francis takes over and we sign, Sinton, Spackman, Reid, Gray, Clarke , there’s a great game where we beat Wimbledon 4-3 a week or so before the Hillsborough disaster

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Yes loving the Touch of Frost remix.

Also learned from this that we had American Football played at Loftus Road which I never knew.

Excellent goal by Stein against West Ham. Maddix (almost) treble tackle sets it all up.

Remember quite a few aways that season , last game at Anfield was a weird atmosphere just after Hillsborough. I couldnt believe the some of the heavy policing. Still Sinton , A Gray ,Falco ,Parker , Macca .Good times . Seem to remember some epic battles between Macca and Mark Hughes that season.

Richard Thompson becomes chairman at the age of 24. That's mental isnt it?

He appoints Trevor Francis as player manager. How did football stalwarts like him and likes of Don Howe feel about dealing with such a young herbert calling the shots?

That was fun. Interesting to remember that despite having such good defenders we still had a habit of gifting goals. We didn't half score some though. Thing that strikes me is how underrated Wayne Fereday was in our history books. Superb down both wings and at the back. 246 games the guy played for us. Outstanding.

Never knowingly right.

I was thinking the same about Fereday.

I was thinking the same about Fereday.


At the time he was the fastest player for pace in top-flight football. No one came close to him on speed. Thing is, he was not that skilful. He made up for it with effort and blistering pace.

As he could not really shoot that great (apart from the odd one or two) he was often used as a fullback to counter the oppositions pacy winger. Thus making it 10 a-side.

I watched that video on VHS so many times as a kid. I truly believed at the end of that season we had a team who could win the league. My Dad always said I was an idiot as a child

Attendances were poor that year despite some results,and not just for us.The Newcastle away game was watched by only 21,000,and a few of our home games were watched by 4 figure crowds.I think I went to most of the games home and away and saw some great wins though.

It was the dark days before Italia 90 made football popular again.Our clubs were still banned from European competitions,and hooligans still had their days terrorising innocent fans.And clough smacked the forest fan on the pitch.

Yes my grandad was, shall we say, less than enamoured with Trevor's two step penalty run up at Millwall.

Trying to remember why Colin Clarke struggled so much the following season? He looked the real deal in in 88/89. Nightmare to mark, hard as nails and an eye for goal. And then it seemed to fizzle out but can't remember why.

Woke up early this morning for some reason and idly flicking through the web to find this thread. Have now just finished watching the highlights before I have to get some work done!

Some great memories there! Need to get online to work now before my boss wonders where I am!

Change of system perhaps ?
We lost Gray & Martin Allen the following season which might of had an effect , we replaced Reid with Wilkins and then bought in wegerle ,Clarke would of had Paul Wright as a partnerat the start of that season but Falco was a much better player tbf
Also on that 88/89 season, anyone there for the Arsenal game at Highbury ? We sang Adams is a donkey for 80 minutes before they scored 2 in the last few minutes

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

Reid and Wilkins played one game together, Palace away, they totally dominated their midfield, a week later we beat Chelsea 4-2.

He very rarely missed a game - surprisingly few injuries (I suppose they couldn't catch him) and never seemed to fall out of favour with managers. Perhaps because he was very consistent, you pretty much knew what you were going to get with him - not many games where he destroyed the oppo but hard to remember a bad performance.
