Almost a 'typical City' moment.
And it would serve to remind everybody we know where we came back from.
And if we ever end up there again, to show us we can turn it round.
Pivotal moment of great symbolism of what our club is all about.

Couldn't disagree more
It was possibly the most important goal ever scored for the club
If we had lost that game..who knows what would have happened
We might never have recovered
We certainly wouldn't be here like we are today

This is 100% true. More important than any trophy winning goal. You can always come back the year after & have another go at winning a trophy; the existence of the club as we know it was under threat that day. If that hadn't gone in, our derby now might have been FC Utd.

I don't have to be there to know I am a fan always have been and always will be.

But one is a more iconic image, probably as Weaver's is harder to understand in a photograph. Try searching google images for 'weaver wembley' and 'dickov wembley'.

If you type in Nicky Weaver Wembley it's the first photo mate. At the end of the day, Weaver won us the match and he never got the credit he deserved for it because it was all given to Dickov.
