Have never discovered why Houghton signed for Oxford after training with us pre season. John Aldridge was also in that Oxford team but yeah, we choked alright on the day. The Liverpool game does partially make up for the final. |  | |  |

Sorry, I'm a little confused. The 1986 what? |  | | |

Great adjective for John Spencer: "superb". He certainly was, absolutely loved him in that season. |  | | |

that final was one of the first on a sunday, it was always a saturday , i was never happy with that and all the pre match talk was of jim smith and his beloved oxford, but he was OUR boss.
we were terrible that day, oxford played well, cut us apart. stories that our players took sedatives to relax nerves the night before? of course these things can kick in, later than expected!
bloody horrible day out. |  | | |

God, I hated that 1996-7 season.
In hindsight, I'm not sure it wasn't worse than 95-6 - going down from the Premier League had felt like the inevitable result not only of the Ferdinand sale but of years of previous sales - sooner or later one was going to be irreplaceable.
At last we had a new owner willing to put up the cash, the kids who'd been just too young to keep us up would get their chance, it'd be the 80s all over again.
If we'd gone straight back up, as so many clubs have, and which arguably we should have, the whole history of the club would have been different.
I'll never forgive Stewart Houston. | | | |
