hogesar 9,673 Posted February 12, 2007 Yup, exactly as the title says, was watching it this morning.Can someone tell me the number 10 striker we had then? Seems to be physically the same as Earnshaw, perhaps the same abilities?Im only 15, and was born in 1992.Good times, hey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Raven 276 Posted February 12, 2007 Main strikers back then would''ve been Sutton, Ekoku and Robins - none of which were Earnie-esque in stature. Unless you''re thinking of Fox? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syteanric 1 Posted February 12, 2007 ruel Fox was god! He was a winger and his skills were incredible! get a video of us from the late 80''s till 1994 and watch how good he was! his twisting and turning at villa park was excellent as he set Sutchy up for the winner in 92/93 and his runs up the wing vs southampton in the FA cup 1/4 final replay tore them asunder!IMHO he was twice the player of Earnshaw! and how he never played for hois country is a mystery to me! When i was a nipper i always used to try and dribble like Ruel fox.. and fall on my backside in the process!jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,395 Posted February 12, 2007 Goss played in the No 10 shirt in the early part of the season then it was Fox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Editor of Milk 0 Posted February 12, 2007 Darren Beckford played in that season as I recall and scored in the 3-2 win at Villa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they were good times - i was about the age you are now back then. I had a bet on city to win the premiership (my dad placed it for me!) that i placed around about november at 20-1. That bet was still on right up until april when we beat the then second placed team aston villa at carrow road. The short guy you are talking of at number 10 must either have been mark robbins or ruel fox. For a real piece of nostalgia, the goal of the season that year, courtesy of one j goss, is on youtube. Just type in "jeremy goss leeds" and it''ll come up. One of THE great goals - enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hucka Hucka Huckerby 0 Posted February 13, 2007 I was in my last year of high school in the 92/93 season & had a season ticket in the Barclay lower with my mate. They were magical times & the quality of play was up there with the cream of English football. We did the double over Chelsea that season... My how time & money have changed the beautiful game! The one game that really stands out when I look back was the 1 nil home win against Villa. John Polston scored the winner to put us back at the top of the Premier League. The atmosphere that night was electric to say the least.... Unfortunately, younger fans have never experienced such times & never will!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 13, 2007 i remember Johnny P''s goal! Bosnich was in goal and saved just about everything till Polly bundled it in with just minutes to go. I can remember Garry Parker taking it round Gunn then somehoe contriving to miss from virtually in the goal... the luck was on our side that night.jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogesar 9,673 Posted February 14, 2007 I agree. I think the financial gain from football has been so large that we''ll never see open leagues at all. The same teams will win the premiership...for the next however long years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
