Just been reading WOL about this.....I was back from France and the only seat I could get was way up in the corner of the Grandstand.....perfectly placed for the winner. Aaron Wildig ..whatever happened to him?? I remember reports that he was better than Aaron Ramsey at the same age....and it was certainly a very deliberate header over the defence to Chopra....so he has to have great credit also. It seemed like an age before it dropped to Chopra...who made no mistake.
Remember staying behind for ages taunting the Swans in the opposite corner!
Astonishing to note that in over 100 years....neither side has completed the 'double'......
As an aside...does anyone remember Dilwyn John, goalkeeper??? He made 88 appearances for Cardiff and 80 for Swansea.
I read he was also a talented snooker player and became Welsh amateur champion during the 1980s and was runner-up in the 1985 IBSF World Snooker Championships.[3]
I remember him making his CCFC debut at 17......and saw him get 6 past him at Chelsea (he was dropped after that but was not at fault for any of them). He was not a tall man but a good keeper.
Aaron Wildig did look promising back then, been at Morecambe since 2015 apparently.Originally Posted by Maurice Swan
a truly great goal that one
Same year as the Canton Mile banner on the roundabout
Could be the year for the double,what odds i wonder ?
Adam Mathews the lad Dave Jones verbally assassinated after scoring an own goal took the throw in.
Another youngster ruined by Jones. Thank god we've not got a manager like that now who can spot talent and give us exciting football to watch.
And then choke everytime push comes to shove.
Character building-Adam Mathews-The original Snowflake
we only got into the position to choke in the first place because he took a poor side and made it good. And good to watch.
Im pretty certain Ramsey wouldnt have been left out if Warnock had been manager.
In my top five favourite goals of all time along side (off the top of my head)
Bellamy v Italy
HRK v Belg
Nathan Blake v Man City
......maybe Bellamy v Jacks (away)
Chopra vs the Jacks
Bellamy v Italy
HRK v Belg
Woodburn vs Austria (didn't work out in the end but for sheer joy and relief at the time)
Ledley vs Barnsley
McCormack's pen after Allen's late late goal at Ninian Park has to be up there too
Thought Ben Turner’s at Wembley May have got an honourable mention Delmi, loudest roar I’ve ever heard from the City fans, shit myself😂
I was In America for that, watched it on a laptop in a Denny's so it wasn't quite the same
I've convinced myself their fans were singing 'You'll never beat the jacks' when Chopra scored that, but watching a video of the goal I can't hear it which is a bit disappointing.
they were just before the attack, well thats how i remember it
Got to agree with them 3, good calls
One of those classic "I was there moments". Well into injury time too, so no way back. You can just make out some of the early leavers running back when they hear the roar!
My oldest still talks to friends about it, she was 7 at the time, loved it
She was talking about it in one of her BTEC sports lecture only a few weeks ago, they were talking about " highs at sports " and last minute winners
My best three goals were
Routledge v Cardiff
Dyer v Cardiff
Bony v Cardiff
3-0 Swans
Have a safe weekend lads. Let’s hope it’s a great game.
Wilmot
1-0
Played a couple of league games against him - at snooker ! Beat me twice, the second time was eating his complimentary sandwich whilst compiling a 50 odd break. Told me a few stories about playing away at Burnley in Div. 1, having to pick darts out of his back courtesy of the Burnley 'fans' behind the goal..
