There's no tv coverage of that game. Still think it's the greatest goal of his (viewed from the shelf), but not a volley, more like the Watford chip but from a much more acute angle (ie close to the goal line). Some thought it a fluke, but this was God we're talking about.

Was at WHL for the league cup semi against Woolwich and the replay. We were so on top during these ties and just couldn’t kill them off the jammy gooner bastards. One of my darkest days supporting Spurs. But you are right- such a good side. Hoddle , Waddle, Ardiles, the Allens, Roberts, Gough and Clemence in goal. We were so attractive to watch that season
I can't remember whether Clemence went to or came from 'pool....
Didn’t Paul Stewart miss a sitter at the Library?
Paul Stewart was a few years later me thinks
From pool but he was still at the top of his game when he had to retire through injury in 87-88 i think
I still remember Bill Brown....
Fair enough
Paul joined us in ‘88 and the replay was ‘87
I just remember one of our players missing a sitter and thought it was Paul but clearly not
We had 40k+ v West Ham and Woolwich in the league cup to be fair. They were different times though. Heysel was still in people’s minds and there was still a fair bit of trouble at matches. It made things a bit raw and edgy for some but dangerous for others. All teams attendances were much lower across football as a whole than they are today.
We had hatfuls of chances from memory in all 3 ties. Clive Allen scored the first goal in all 3 ties as well I think. Anyway it was a long time ago so don’t be too hard on yourself!
Another great from the past...these guys played for us before all the hatred started so nobody cared that they came from Liverpool, Chelsea Woolwich etc...golden days of football civilisation...
Didn’t Nick Hornby mention the game in one of his books?
My line manager at the time was a Gooner and used to give me enormous stick!
Tosser
Probably, but my hatred for Woolwich would never allow me to read a book by a gooner- daft I know but I have always hated them! Even to the point that I enjoyed it when Lofty left Eastenders cos I knew the actor Tom Watt was a dirty goon!
That third game still to this day wrecks me along with Coventry.
That team going forward was so special. I also think Clive Allen was the most underrated striker of that time. His goals were brilliant. He scored all types and I used to nickname him C.Allen 2 because he loved a brace.
wrong. Everyone knows that was down to levyYeah, blame the 90's and Alan Sugar for the 86/87 season - come on, you know the rules
Clive was a sort of Greavsie type player without the pace but still superb
I was a classmate of his younger brother Bradley at school and sometimes Les and Clive would come and watch the school team play. Seemed like nice down to earth people
