85 fa cup final. My dad punched the tv and turned it off in disgust when Moran was sent off. My mum and I retreated to the bedroom to listen to it on the radio. Fortunately my dad had put the tv back on in time for the goal!

A. I define world class as making a world XI and at his best he would have been in that for me

Easy B. But I think he A+ for goalscoring (i.e. in his position!)

E. He was A before we bought him and I was never more excited by a signing but despite changing our system to accommodate him it just didn’t work out. If you watch highlights of him you would say B but I remember massive frustration at the time

It isn’t Juve 99, it is the fact that for about 5 years he played that well every single game . That one game is rightly elevated for the goal, occasion , yellow card but he always played that well!

The surprising thing is not that it lasted 41 years , the surprising thing is it didn’t happen the last few years. I guess only because we’re not usually winning at half time !

Surprised the commentator didn’t say “it takes some shot to beat Shilton from that distance” because they all used to talk like he was still good even though he had been obviously shit for years !!

Good job social media wasn’t around then. Some of that squad would have had a tough time!(Davenport, Turner, the Gibsons, even Stapleton in his last year)

Did we really play that formation? I remember solskjaer and even Cole on the wing in 4-4-2s but no memory of Eric playing behind two strikers

Unbelievable player. Although he was lucky to win that award that season. It was voted for very early. He was terrible like most of the team the second half of 88/89!
