04/09/96 v Sunderland (a) 2-1 Premiership

[Away fans weren't allowed this year and so our memorable win was greeted with silence.]

"I was with the team that day and sat on the bench. We fell behind when Robbie Elliott brought down my old mate, Steve Agnew. When Pedro and Les got their goals it was weird. Of course, we all jumped up and celebrated when the goals went in but about ten or fifteen of us couldn't make much noise. Their fans thumped the back of our dug-out which made a bit of a din but it was clear to me that day that football is dead without the fans."
