Were you at Wembley back in 1999, when Manchester City came back from the dead? Let’s hope you didn’t leave early!
Reminisce on that day when Paul Dickov’s goal and Nicky Weaver’s penalty saves gave City a lifeline.
Back in 1999, Wembley was a dark and dirty place with peeling paint and holes in the roof (I should know I got dripped on all game). Set the scene, it’s raining, cold, your team is 2-nil down, with 89 minutes gone there are many places you’d rather be.
But when your team doesn’t give in, and they shine in an illuminous kit, things can turn around pretty quickly.
To recapture the day that saved Manchester City from financial ruin, we’ve put together our top 10 gift ideas to remember Wembley 99.
1. “That Goal” capturing Paul Dickov’s goal print
A piece of Manchester City history captured forever and one that is guaranteed to bring back memories of a roller coaster day.
Exclusively made in Manchester and is based on the kit from that historic day with three of the colours featured. You can often see the hat pop up on TV or at the Etihad!
Kevin Horlock celebrating, Paul Dickov shooting, Andy Morrison holding the trophy and who could forget Nicky Weaver running down the pitch with his arms stretched outright.
