- A massive attendance at Oakwell to see Norman Hunters second division super reds beat first division Manchester City thanks to a superb header from Trevor Aylott.
So lets join Harry Carpenter in the BBC Sportsnight studio.
I was in the City end as a 10 year old with my mate and our Dads and 4,000 Blues. Atmosphere was amazing and a deserved win for Barnsley. Was not the 1st or last time we got beaten by lower division opponents.
There's not much that makes me cry, but this does. What a side, what a night. Absolutely magical.
Jeez I remember this night was behind the goal. With City. Barnsley were great that night so well done to them.
You’ve obviously gone on to bigger and greater things since then, always wondered what a city’s fans perspective was that night
Lisa's husband, Andy here. I went to this match as an eight year old My team was Barnsley and my favourite big team was City, they got to the cup final the year before. The atmosphere was electric, the match was full blooded, I don't think I'll ever be at a sporting occasion like that again. All Reds fans who were there that night remember it. Liverpool in the next round was memorable as well. Boy we had a great side then!👍 What a goal!!!
I was there, age 13 and crammed into the west terrace below the old stand, what a night for us
That was a great night, an atmosphere that will never be bettered at Oakwell. I was right behind goal when Aylott headed in, fantastic memories!
I was 5 yeats old so its one of the games I'd love to have seen.
@paul smith In 89 we drew Everton in the FA cup there was over 35000 in the ground that day.
@paul smith you should of sent the tickets they'd have sold them!! I was there that night it was a great atmosphere!!!
Me too Dave, I think we’ve this chat on Twitter, I was just to the left of Corrigan, the roar when Aylott’s header hits the back of the net still gives me goosebumps
You can tell Norman Hunter's influence on the team, tough tackling. Yes there was bookings, but the players did not make any fuss over it.
Amazing result. Only match I didn't go to in that cup run, Was a sellout if I recall. I'd Never seen the recording of the match either , no doubt BITD the tv highlights were broadcast far too late on a school night . cheers for uploading 👍🏼👍🏼
And when we play them again we'll give them another slap just like this one!
the old days when honest football were played.
Those were the days my friend.
This set up a titanic battle with Liverpool in the next round.
Sat on wall in ponty end 😊
.. and I'm not reading this of a cue card are you 'arry, know wot I mean.. Harold Carpenter one of the BBC greats.
Indeed (it was Harry Carpenter).
33,792 attendance that night, (02-12-81). Time code 25:12 for Aylott’s brilliantly headed goal.
15:30 Even 40 years ago we didn’t get penalties…
Look at Manchester city now the best team in England and probably Europe right now.. C.T.I.D.1977/2022..
Shitty won the oil lottery that's all, will always be a small time club!
Bond soon dismantled the young Allison City team and replace it with many players past their best, and ok short term it probably saved the side in 1980/81 but long term it took many years for City to get back to where they were in the late 60s/early 70s
