No matter how bad things are now (and they’re pretty bad!), I’ll always remember how sick I felt as a kid after this result. For the first time in my lifetime, North End were on Match of the Day (Des Lynam and all) and we were embarrassed. I suppose it helped to prepare me up for a lifetime of footballing disappointment…
It might not be the most spectacular goal ever scored on Deepdale’s hallowed turf, but Mark Rankine’s late, late goal against Birmingham sparked possibly the wildest scenes of celebration I’ve ever seen. Relive the moment again and feel the hairs stand up on the back of your neck!
