FIFTEEN YEARS AGO TODAY!

27th May 1996 - First Division Play-Off Final at Wembley

-- I WAS THERE!!

THAT goal by Stevie Claridge - unforgettable!

Video includes the original ITV commentary (Which to this day, I can still remember off by heart - I used to watch that goal every morning when I was a kid!), Interviews with captain Steve Walsh, winning goalscorer Steve Claridge and the genius that is Martin O'Neil. Also includes the moment City collected the cup.

The last few minutes are from the original advert breaks, which I left on to complete the nostalgia trip!

Apologies for poor quality as I took it direct from the VHS I recorded back in 1996.

  • @aidanb85 Yeah it's up there. Beating Derby at Wembley or Middlesborough, League Cup replay at Hillsborough, Steve Claridge - you beauty!

  • Lol they justbeat palace 2-1 away today

  • as a palace fan watching this still hurts - i was there and never felt so utterly deflated at a football match. crazy to think that was 15 years ago - off that wanker claridges shin, even if he did try and claim he placed it. did he bollocks.

    all was well that ended well though, we beat sheff utd in the last kick at wembley the following year

  • I was there too, with my parents and my 2 brothers... right behind that goal, about halfway up. 0:55 - 1:10 = goosebumps every time!

  • @BiloLCFC

    O'Neill's record was really good Leicester were a tricky team for the best of them

    1996/97 - 9th

    1997/98 - 10th

    1998/99 - 10th

    1999/00 - 8th

  • Nice one on the upload. This goal always puts a tear in my eye.

  • Found this on Lenny's twitter. Amusing to see Garry Parker back in the day, and a young Heskey.
