On this day 4th January 1992 - Man City went the same way in the FAC

[erimus74]

As they did in the League Cup

1st division Man City came to Teesside to hopefully avenge the league cup defeat they suffered the previous month, 3rd December

Unlike the league cup match, when Man City were trailing they took the lead, controlled the game & looked as though they would gain the revenge they wanted, but, the Boro that season were made of sterner stuff & we didnt give up battling until the final whistle

Lennie Lawrence had us fighting on all fronts & for each other, in another remarkable season following the mighty Boro & the evidence was shown in the final 10 minutes of the cup tie when we scored 2 late, late, late goals in a minute to knock out Man City, go through to the next round & a cup double over the big boys from Manchester
Alan Kernaghan equalised when he headed home from a corner
Paul Wilkinson smashed home the 2nd & winning goal to secure another cup victory

Watching the match you can still feel the atmosphere when we equalise, then when the winner goes in you can jump around the room, a great cup tie for me & I still look back on as one of the best at Ayresome Park

At the beginning of the match when showing the team line up it shows our classic erimus badge, awesome

What a great season that was

Great memories of this one, in fact that entire season was full of good footballing memories

My first full season and the two cup games against City cemented the passion.

Had a watch of the highlights and it's nice to be reminded of the commentating skills of John Motson.
