Thanks for reminding me of that nightmare.

I knew there was a reason why the prospect of facing Michael Symes caused me to a degree of apprehension whenever Sheffield Wednesday played Bradford.

Must have been Paul Sturrock's second league away game in charge soon after Wednesday got a thumping away win at Wrexham in his first match.

They caught one of Wednesday's defenders in possession to win the return game very late on as well.

I remember Paul Sturrock saying "we have a defender who thinks he's a footballer first and a defender second".
