nottingham forest v man united 1990 fa cup 3rd round

Probably should have stood that Forest goal. Leighton was more than dodgy that season. Nice revenge for that McClair effort that was deemed to have not crossed the line at Old Trafford in the FA Cup a year before though.

Man U were not the corporate giant in January 1990 that they are now. In 1989-1990, there was not the amount of money involved in football. The newspaper was king back then, and there was not as much of a mass media as now. Top players weren't earning six-figure sums per week. If Fergie had been Man U manager in 2009-2010 and they had a season like that, he would have been sacked before January.

that goal should of counted

I think another thing this clip proves is that Jim Leighton was a really bad goalkeeper, I remember his missed punch more than the goal

we're on the march..

Alex Ferguson's job was on the line in this match. Remember it well.

I live in Glasgow and my family are all Rangers fans and i begged my dad to take me to parkhead to see celticVsforest in a uefa cup 2ng leg, so i could see my team Forest. My family still dont get it and cant understand why i would support Forest over Rangers. I was born a Forest fan lol and nothing can ever change that. Good Point today at Pool n fingers crossed Reading do us a turn on Monday :-) Hi to all other forest fans here

yea was a good point, till monday night i am reading fan tho ;)

well am hoping you guys are gonna get a few goals against a poor defence. Pleased you won last time out though :-) looking forward to the match its gonna mean a lot to me! :-)

I begged for a Chelsea top and I begged to go to Stamford Bridge, but I was 5 and but I was brainwashed. This was around late nineties. Our family have proud Mancunian roots and that meant support a Mancunian, even if you were brought up in London. I never really liked Chelsea, but as a five year old everyone around me was Chelsea. But I knew who I loved and that was I United. No matter where life takes when I'm older, from Stretford to Sudan, I will make sure my kids support United.
