@supahdupahguy81 actually as bad as we were back then i remember this game well. We scored 3 goals in the second half and won 3-1. Ruel Fox grabbed 2 and Sheringham 1. Always remember this game for some reason. No idea why.

@1860number How ironic that the 3 teams relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 1995/1996 season, Bolton Wanderers, QPR, & Manchester City are playing in the top league again this present season.

@supahdupahguy81 Nope, it finished 1-1, John McGinley equalised for Bolton in the 2nd Half.

There's an X-Files joke there somewhere.
