Watched a clip of Peterborough 3 Cardiff 0, 90/91

Three things I remember from that day.

Nathan Blake was playing as a sweeper and had a very distinctive haircut.

City fans were being watched closely by the police in our end but a number gave them the slip by walking down the steps at back of the away end, making their way round the concourse till they got to the Peterborough fans and then walking into their section (Police intelligence wasn't too advanced back then). It must've been a family section or something so they walked through those fans and onto the pitch to go towards the home end behind the goal. There was a bit of confusion among them, especially as Peterborough were attacking and scored their third while 50 or so were on the pitch. You can see some of them hanging around as it goes in.

Last away game of the season so a few had gone in fancy dress. A ginger guy wrapped in a white sheet or robe was running up and down the away end banging his head and shouting 'do the Ayatollah'. I remember thinking 'I can't see that catching on mate'.

There was some right old fisticuffs in that Peterborough side terrace our warriors walked through

We were shocking that day and the pitch invaders probably wanted a chance to show off their skills

Roger Hansbury always looked idiotic in those tracksuit bottoms

That is one ugly trip up to the East. Some guy was installing my nrw fibre optic for CityFibre the other day. I asked wherre he was from and he said Peterborough.

I asked him if he followed them and he said yes. He remembered the same game as me. Jeff Eckhardt and Scott Young were in the team, and I think maybe Nugent and Williams up front that day, but my memory is sketchy.We lost that day and I think it was 2-0. I think it might have been around 1999 or 2000. One thing I do remember is that two young players Simon Etherington and a certain Welshman called Simon Davies ripped us apart that day. They were oustanding. Not long after that I think they were both flogged to Spurs together.

I thought this might have been a thread about that game until I saw the date and thought about it. I have only been there once but I do remember a sloping road near the stadium and a small pub on the corner with a walk up to the stadium. Horrible long drive back home though in all the traffic.
