I thought them, but they remained in the bottom division when we were in the tier above for 2 seasons.

I should have got Southend as me and Tuerto were talking about our trip there only last week (it was a Sunday lunchtime game, we won 3-0 and me and him had stayed with a friend in Brighton the night before).

The Hull away game in 2000/01 was a horror show - a 2-0 defeat thanks to two own goals and a sending off. That was a grim trip.

[the other bob wilson]

This is doing my head in, I’ll say Exeter, but it’s not them - it must be someone we played in 02/03.

What was controversial about the away game with Mansfield that season?

I had to look that one up. If you'd have asked who the scorer of the other own goal was (not Gabbs), I wouldn't have got that in a month of Sunday's. Also, I think that season we must have set a record for own goals.

Off the top of my head, Hull (2), Exeter (home), Crewe (FA cup), Southend (away), 3 in successive games if I remember correctly. Then there was Bristol Rovers in the cup at home as well. I feel sure there were others.

Great trip, if it is the one I'm thinking of. Our midfield played at levels only just short of Barcelona that day.

September 2006. City were top of the league. Goals from Purse, Scimeca and Ledley. James Collins was in the row behind us.

I was at that game at Southend. Chris Kamara was on the TV gantry to our left. It was live on Sky.

Here's a fan video I found on YouTube

Cheers Mike. I have cherished memories of that day and I think they've all been blown away by watching that
