By chance I caught The Big Match Revisited on ITV4 this am. Saints v Man City is featured and well worth a look. I was at this game and remember it mainly for the two ex Saints G.Baker and I.Golac playing for City which to me just seemed wrong. That S.Moran could play a bit though! So go to ITV Player and enjoy. Sorry about the missing n
I forgot that Golac went there. i used to like Graham baker too. Steve Moran, what a legend he was. Shame keegan left, as I think if he'd stayed, he'd have looked after Moran and developed into a better player for a longer period. The Swedish thing killed Moran off.
Swedish thing..? I thought his back injury did for him. He was developing so well before then, that years later, I reckon people would have referred to Michael Owen as a young Steve Moran.
I was only a young season ticket holder then, but I remember that after he and Wrighty were arrested on the pre-season tour to Sweden, I seem to recall that he went right off form after that. He got dogs abuse after that from away fans and as far as I recall, he suffered as Mark Wright blossomed. I may be having a senior moment though.
I remember this vividly! I was only a pup too but I remember reading the headline, asking my mum what the charge meant, receiving (I know now) a completely watered down response and then feeling like the world had come to an end! I was reading The Count of Monte Cristo at the time and could only imagine them shackled in chains. Moran never seemed the same to me after that.
