21st March 1987 - Archie Stephens

[erimus74]

Scored one of his trademark diving headers for the only goal of the game away to promotion challengers Blackpool, giving us, not only the 3 points but revenge with Blackpool were the first league team to beat us that season beating us 3-0 at Ayresome Park back in October

A massive following that day, we were sat in the opposite end, to the right of the ground to Archies goal

A close game with Blackpool been one of our challengers for automatic promotion & this game a 6 pointer, it was a close run game but Archie came up trumps to score his 14th league goal of the season, magnificent season
