Looks like the mad Birdy (Baird) to me

That’s the one I meant - Stuart Baird

Great chest control from Speedie, put it right were he wanted it for a right foot shot.

I think it is Birdy (Alan Birkbeck) based on the fact him and his friends were at the front of the queue for City tickets. It's strange what the memory holds but I can tell you that they were singing 'we meet the Champions, we shall not be moved' as we passed them to join the queue.

Me and my pal Alec queued up all night for tickets for that game. We nearly froze to death.

Didn’t know where to put this, but seeing that Tony appears in one or two photos I put it here. 
Don’t really know what’s happening ( apart from his dementia)

mods, if it’s not right here, please move it.

Thanks for posting. Heartbreaking!

[Vinjay]

Wonder if Ferguson, Moyes, Redknapp, etc have sent any messages. Not as deserving of sympathy as Kean I guess.

The afternoon when the phone at the Dalglish household rang off the hook...

 

[simongarnerisgod]

filbert street was an extremely strange ground,remember that row of executive boxes which constituted a stand  at one end and the away end on the side where if you near the back you could only see half the pitch!!,still better than the totally bland walkers stadium though (or whatever it`s called now)

Stalemate at Ewood...

That Richard Brown attempted tackle was so late it was nearly from the match before !

That looked a pretty dire game.

The night after the day before...the trophy presentation...anyone recognise themselves ? 

 

[A Northern Horde...]

It was a great Evening that Monday night and the whole of Blackburn and beyond seemed to want to get into Ewood with thousands of folk locked outside.

For some strange,unexplainable,oddball reason I sadly never took any footage of the event from my seat in the BBE.

Thank you for posting the above video...25 years may have passed but the memories we'll happily take to our Graves.

Thanks for posting this Ian. A great occasion for everybody connected to Rivers.

[Ianrally]

What a fabulous night that was, and I can remember it like it was yesterday. Sadly realising what has happened since those heady days, in reality it’s more like a lifetime. Nothing can rob us of the memories though.

Bobby Mimms ??

 

[simongarnerisgod]

me and a mate ventured south on a sleepy saturday with apprehension as we`de never been to millwall before,they were astonishingly quite hospitable,apparently they had no "beef" with blackburn at all,not sure if they felt that way after the match,as we boarded the coach pretty sharpish!!!,the area around the den was`nt really a place to get lost in

[philipl]

Went to that one.

The save which Mimms pulled off and rolled over on it had all the Rovers fans convinced it had gone in. Then we were looking for the ball and finally astonished to see Bobby stand up with it.

We got pummelled that day by Millwall but came away with the 3-1 win.

Speedie showing Armstrong that you don't have to be a giant to lead the line.

I've been to Millwall plenty of times - they are a fucking nasty lot. 

[Elvis Biro]

I lived in London for about 30 years and the only place I never went to watch Rovers at was Millwall.
