Proper random, but it still irks me was a Tuesday night game that we lost 1 - 0 at Stockport in 96/97.
It was in the Third Division, which was then called The Second Division and is now called League 1
We absolutely ,totally outplayed them in all departments. We scored three seemingly good goals that were all chalked off for one reason or another. (No VAR around and I don't remember ever seeing the three disallowed goals on TV)
Udo Onwere was then sent off for what , even now, would be seen as a "soft sending off" and Stockport scored with the only shot I remember them having.
Bury, Stockport and Crewe were promoted and we finished 1 place short of the play-offs.
Yes that's Bury (no longer in the League), Stockport (no longer in the League) and Crewe all promoted to what is now the championship.
At the end of the season, Megson left us to join "a bigger club" and went to Stockport
Btw - Spellcheck showed Stockport as incorrect and wants to replace it with Stockpot
Pete, yeah was there that night. Absolute robbery.
