JOE ROYLE PUTS CITY AHEAD
A DEJECTED DAVE WATSON PUTS THE BALL INTO HIS OWN NET AND IT’S 1-1!
Remember the game very well, it was a very cold night and from what I can recall Corrigan said he slipped on ice as he was going back to retrieve Dave Watson’s header. Most of the Liverpool fans had left, I know, as I was standing right in front of their enclosure of the Kippax as to were they were sectioned. We lost the league by only one point that season.
You’d have won the league but for that og. Gotta admit, Dave Watson was a class act.
I’m a Liverpool fan and had left at 88mins thinking we had got beat 1-0
Got home to see on Granada News that the game had finished 1-1…freezing cold night
