| I was on duty in the fire brigade and it was impossible to get the day off. Then 10 minutes before kickoff we got turned out to a raging inferno and missed the game completely. Gutted, as was the building we went to.

| "Up the Cream" has a 25 year special out now. Very good read. As for me, went on a proper trip. 8-00 am pick up, beer. 9-30 breakfast in pub in Huddersfield, whisky with cornflakes, beer. Onward journey, beer. At the ground, beer and watched through glazed eyes, euphoria. Watched the game 2 days later, sober, euphoria. Much older, so er and wiser now

cartoons/WB17.gif I've been on the internet and have already got a sense of the fans' passion for the club. They are very fanatical - Peter Gentle 12th September 2011.
Money doesn't talk it swears, Obscenity who really cares, Propaganda all is phony.
I'm the son and heir of a shyness which is criminally vulgar.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
A man who lives in hell can still aspire to heaven.:cartoons/WB17.gif |

| Had to work a Saturday night shift beforehand. Was picked up by a mate at about 8am. Drive to Manchester, watched the two games, drove back to Hull in time to return to work for a second night shift. I didn't know what day of the week it was by 8am in the morning.
My one abiding memory (like a few on here it seems) is Gary Nolan's arm suddenly emerging from a ruck of players to plonk the ball down over the line sending the Black & Whites stood in Stretford mental.
An over-riding disappointment, of course, is the fact that we've only had one other trophy to grace the cabinet in the 25 years which have since passed, but 12th May '91 is a definite highpoint of my time as a Black & White. Let's hope for more such days in the years (maybe months!) to come.

| Quote: Staffs FC "Moving around the Stretford End without my feet touching the terracing and Gary Nolan's arm appearing from nowhere and putting the ball over the line.'"
Stood next to you on the FC packed Stretford End.
Great game, great day, great memories.
And also Offiah sulking, coming off the pitch having refused to collect his losers medal. Bet they forgot to mention that on his statue outside Wembley!
