Mercantile credit tournament…

Can you remember this?

I'm 37, so, in a nutshell, no. Some excellent saves from their 'keeper. Suckling looks like he was a good keeper. I remember Nigel Martyn at Palace. Pressman must have been bloody young then.

Yes and it were a shite idea

[MAL]

I have no recollection of this at all.

[Andyben]

Is there a link to a loan application anywhere?

[Tylluan]

I've got a vague recollection of games being shown on World of Sport. Weren't they something like 20 mins each way. Think we got through to the final but don't think we won it

[HarrySpeakup]

We lost on penalties to Forest in the final

Didn't Colin West miss one?

I didn't go but do remember it being on.  Colin West was supposedly our best player in it!   😮

Colin West scored a cracker in the semi against Man U I think 

 

I watched it on the tellies in Makro

That rings a bell

Worthington missed a pen didn't he?

Just about remember it.  Last 16 and quarters played on the Saturday and 40 minutes long.  Semis and final were played on the Sunday and 60 minutes long.

Mostly remember Greavsie taking the piss out of it on the Saturday morning.  Think Hirsty Colin West scored quite a good goal in the semi.
