Happy St Michael of Thomas Day!

Post by DB10GOONER »

Lo and behold! Yea verily, tonight THIRTY FOUR :shock: years ago, the Lord George Graham did walk upon the mountain of stolen hubcaps and shat he upon the pagan scouse vermin. 8)

Anfield 89. The greatest moment in football history. Never equalled. Never bettered.

Nothing comes close to this in football, anywhere in the world.

Bout time adidas released the fucking shirt, only been waiting my whole life for it.

Wearing my flea bay knock off for the night that’s in it, that goal will never be topped.

I wasn't one of the 200000 on social media that was there that night :D
I can still remember my knee slide across the line carpert and making sure all my neighbours knew what had happened :D :barscarf:
my eldest was named Michael Thomas
my youngest got David Adam Anders
I wanted Anthony Adam but my missus wouldn't have it as she new it would end up as Tony Adams

Still got my original shirt and have had it signed by George and most of the players ( Thomas and Rocastle apart)

Programme too all signed a week or so afterwards by all the players courtesy of a friend of Perry Groves’

Best night / weekend of my life, no question

I will die a happy man

Not unless you get a signed Xhaka shirt as well :)

Still watch it praying that Mickey hasn't held onto it for too long. :lol:

Everything fell into place for that goal, Smudges impeccable touch turn and pass, Perry's run across to take out the defenders, the driving run by Mickey with the deflection that could have gone anywhere, and then the blink first moments before the goal with Grobbelar

The commentary, the limbs flying in the Gooner end, everything! What football is all about 8) :barscarf:
