On The Road To Wembley

On the way to Wembley. Blackburn Away, Coca Cola Semi-Final 1st Leg at Ewood Park, Wednesday 10th Feb 1993

What a cracking night that was. Worked half a day and met some friends at the Three Tuns,

opposite the HSBC in Sheffield. We drove over in a mates car and went for a beer, but all

the designated away pubs were absolutely packed with a queue 10 deep at the bar. So we went

for a walk up a hill away from the ground and frequented some pubs deep in Blackburn Territory.

Keeping our mouths shut, so as not to attract attention.

We won 4-2 in front of a 17,283 crowd, with a brace from Paul Warhurst and a goal from our USA

international John Harkes (who lived in Stannington) John Sheridan also got one.

On the way to Wembley. Blackburn Rovers, Coca Cola Semi-Final 2nd Leg at Hillsborough, Sunday 14th March 1993

Having witnessed a great game in the first leg, it would have been rude not to go to the second leg

A 30,048 crowd were in attendance eager for Wednesday to finish the job and guarantee another trip to Wembley

To begin with, it didn't go to plan and Blackburn scored first. Being a Wednesday supporter, obviously you fear the worst. But in those days we were on fire and came back to win the game 2-1. (6-3 on aggregate)

With Goals from David Hirst a header at the back stick and Mark Bright who scored in a one on one with the keeper.

Happy days
