http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVQUybYpLfA i was in my Bedroom listening to it on a Radio cos me Pots were gone and i couldn't watch it on the Telly any longer. when that Goal went in i hopped the Radio off the Wall,must've smashed in to about 50 Pieces. Heartbraking stuff,took me a long long time to get over it....
Great thread, might start a trend I was in my soccer coaches house watching the last 15 minutes...that day I lost a an Gaelic Under 14-county schools final by 1 point, then that evening my under 14 soccer team lost 4:3 to our biggest rivals to loose the league and then god dam mickey thomas popped up. Probably the worst day in my teenage life!!! Do you what sickens me the most about the clip...its Brian Moore saying "its up for grabs nowwwwww" I wore my jersey the next day all the same
That was such a bad season for Liverpool we had won the FA cup & that game against Arsenal was put back for ages due to Hillsborough and the double was there for us until that goal. It was the begining of the end of our domination of football in England Hillsborough took its toll on Kenny couple of years later the team was took apart by Souness. I watched it on ITV I was 17 I saw us win one more league and its been hard watching since the Mancs started their run & it has been pain ever since.
It still hurts just as much looking at that after all them years, will never forget that night was devastated! watched it in my local football club house, out of about 30 lads only my mate & I were supporting the Redmen the rest wanted the Arsenal to win! W**kers..... I think the only other goal that has come close to that horrible feeling was went Inzaghi's scored the second goal for Milan in Athens.... Michael Thomas was a very good & a very much underrated player also a very nice man of the field who became a big favourite with the Kop & considering he scored that goal! that is some achievement & still lives in the Liverpool area!
I was there that night and do you know what, it didn't mean that much.It was a rearranged match and so as everybody knows was after Hillsborough.I was pulled out of the Leppings Lane end by somebody Who I never met.It was my first time back in Liverpool and as I had a Kop season ticket I told myself that I had to go back one more time, if just to put myself in a large crowd again. I will always remember Tony Adams and the Arsenal team coming out and each of them had a bouquet of flowers which they gave to the fans in the wheelchair section down at the Kop.It was a great gesture and one I never forgot. On to the game,I dunno how I felt but I wasn't gutted and sick the way I normally would have been.I think somehow I was glad that it was over,because I had went back to the Kop one last time and proved to myself that I could go back into a crowded area, but there were no celebrations at the end of incredible night and I felt ok with this because after Hillsborough I would have felt bad about celebrating and been happy. I think I was relieved it was all over and I was spared the guilt of maybe feeling good if we had won.
In a pub called Nancy Spains in Barrack Street having my first legal drink. Worst night out I ever had.
I won't watch that clip again, I switch off whenever it gets replayed on TV- I was 10 yrs old and was inconsolable for about an hour after. I don't think I 'got' the significance of the double but was so disappointed we had lost the league.
i was ten, watched the game with my uncle. I remember we went for a walk in the local park that day and we were talking about the game, we both agreed that we wouldn't lose but even if we did, there was no way we would lose by two goals
At home, didn't know which was worse the goal or getting into bed with my ex-wife. On second thoughts the goal wasn't that bad !

Do you what sickens me the most about the clip...its Brian Moore saying "its up for grabs nowwwwww" I wore my jersey the next day all the same Wore my jersey the day after Hysel, Without thinking ended up in a Italian chipper in Harmonstown that night, after five minuets waiting to be served (as I was the only one in the shop) I suddenly noticed all the Juve posters behind the counter, went for a chineese instead.
Was in me brother inlaws house a huge chelsea fan trying to hide the tears. That was the first huge kick in the teeth I got being a Pool' fan. After Hillsborough and all, we where some side. How does the saying go ' if losing doesn't hurt, winning would never feel the some' roll on May 11'th and I hope we'll all be crying tears of joy..
i knew what the link was even before i clicked on it. watched it at home with me mam and younger brother. was devasted. to rub salt into the wound my traitor of a brother decided to support arsenal from then on.
Ah I remember it well, to qoute one Jimmy Magee. I was 14 and had spent the day playing soccer with my mates. I sat at in my sweat stained liverpool shirt and was very happy at half time. Alan Smith scored early in the 2nd half and I thought, so what, we'll score. Then I see Thomas one on one with brucie, I close my eyes, clench my buttocks in an attempt to summon the scuff shot yielding gods and then I am awoken from my horrified trance to george hamiliton triumphantly procaliming "And Michael Thomas has won the championship for Arsenal"...AAArrrrgh. I know most perople associate george hamilton with happy childhood memories of the boys in green i Stuttgart, Italia 90 and giants stadium..but for me his voice sends shivers down my spine
I was 15, probably the worst day of my life (from a football view). Of course I had to go back to school and face those gloating Arsenal fans. The only thing that came close to ever making up for it was a match in some place called Istanbul.
