http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7224057.stm Remember seeing this match and being so annoyed but little did we know what this 26 year old goalscorer for do for our club in the future
Yes I remember. I'll only forgive him once he scores his 100th goal for us. Oh hang on he only has 4 more to score
That was on TV in Shanghai believe it or not. Never heard the end of it from my Rovers-supporting friend over there!!
Was there for a midday KO. Saganowski was a disgrace that day, absolutely had no interest at all. A very low time for Saints, think Nigel Pearson was appointed the following week to replace Dodd and Gorman.
Honestly, I'm actually glad Rickie did for us, back then. It accelerated the time when we'd eventually get rid of Lowe and go into administration and then be hauled out of it by our very own fairy Godmother. Well Godfather, anyway.
Lowe had already been kicked out at that time, Crouch appointed Pearson. Lowe bought back by Wilde in the summer and the two dutch clowns appointed after Pearson kept us up. Our football club was a shambles and a mess, thank god for Markus Liebherr RIP
I thought the defeat to Bristol City that season was equally bad, one of the lowest points for me. We looked screwed, both on & off the field. What a difference a Markus makes.
Yes, I'm well aware of that but, as you put it yourself, he came back. For a while there I never thought we'd shake the bleeder off.
I was there. That really was the lowest feeling wasn't it? If it wasn't for moments like these however than the high right now wouldn't be quite so great.
I thought it was too as it deflected off him but different reports class it as Rickie's goal. Dark times back then, makes you realise how far we have come
How shocking was our team back then? Idiakez, Darren Powell (as skipper), Jermaine ****e, Saga. How on earth did we survive that year?
Lambert was still thinner than Adam Hammill. Not so good memories of that one. Still, we got some revenge up there.
