I went to the 2nd leg at St James Park where Mirandina got revenge & ripped us apart.I was in there one night when we played Newcastle in the Cup, they had Mirandina a Brazilian big money signing playing, he danced past a couple of our midfielders before Briggsy sent him airborne with a flying tackle and he went sprawling across that red cinder track and smashed into the SS wall.
Some old guy who used to take great pleasure abusing opposition players stared down at him and said "Welcome to Blackpool, you Argentinean tvvat". We told him he was Brazilian but he wasn't having it. Mirandina was nearly crying, think we won 1-0 Tony Cunningham scored.
Lost 4 - 1
