I'll never forget Munday's goal in the away leg - although I suspect it was meant as a cross.

No way - look at it again...

I remember this game well - I was just 13 years old.

I recall every day on my walk to school passing by a guy on a bike wearing a Leicester shirt so it wasn't long before the banter begun once the draw was made. He was well into his 40s. After the first leg he invited me (remember, I'm 13) to travel up to Leicester with him to watch the remainder of the tie. Obviously I said "no" - and "get your hand off my arse".

Approx ten years later he was banged up for manslaughter - and I'm not kidding.

Still, great game!:drool:

Your rejection of his friendly invite changed everything.

Jesus was that 1994! Remember bunking off a shift at KFC and went by coach, only to find my boss spotted me on TV! Shit job anyhow and a wonder goal by Munday...

I was sitting right near him when he shot & was convinced he was going for the cross. Haven't seen a replay of it for years so am open to persuasion otherwise.

Great game - and who can forget Stuart Munday's amazing goal in the second leg...? (Can't find the proper highlights with commentary on YouTube - I've got it on video somewhere...).



I remember going to Wycombe for the first round match. We won 3-1, but the scoreline doesn't do the performance justice. We absolutely murdered them - Nogan should have scored about six. One of the most complete away performances I've seen from an Albion side. We had a promising and exciting team then, under Liam Brady - how it all sadly went wrong so very quickly.


Agree totally. One of the most amazing away matches I've seen... 10-1 wouldn't have been unjust.

We played with so much class that night, they couldn't get near the ball. Notice on the video the Wycombe fans clapping McDougald's goal which came after a brilliant move I think... I remember Nogan missing a hat-full of sitters... So much hope for that season based on that performance!

Yeah within a month we couldn't buy a win and Nogans' goals ceased to exist!

Probably Junior McDougald's finest games for the club. Superb performance at Wycombe, and then I remember the exhilartion of that second goal at Leicester.
One of our first experiences of being "all-seated" in that low-roofed stand at the side - except that absolutely everyone had to stand on the seats to be able to see !

No way was Munday's goal a mis-hit cross.

I know this as I claim the assist. I was seated dead-level with Munday when he received the ball and it was my screaming "SHOOT!" that saw the ball fly into the top corner.

My favourite ever Albion game...

I was 14 – and having turned up late for some reason missed my mates (including [MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION]) going in. I wound up on my own at the back of the North Stand in and amongst a bunch of humungous geezers. Amazing atmosphere, as it was evident very early on that we were outplaying a very good Prem side.

The scrum following Nogan’s goal was just ridiculous. Then on Old Shoreham Road afterwards everyone was hugging each other and grinning.
