There was also another one a few years later, again against Ipswich, when the undersoil heating had been on and not "defrosted" the pitch properly. it started to rain heavily, but becusae just under the surface was still frozen, it turned Maine Road into a lake.
And there is your dull Sunday morning weather nostalgia information.....back to Slow roasting my belly pork!

Ah, happy days. George Courtney, what a tw@t. My hazy memory of my youth tells me Kare Ingebrigtsen scored the first and Vonk the second, a screamer form outside the box followed by a massive Dickov-like slide on the wet ground to celebrate. But perhaps I am talking out my hat.

You could be right chaps....but yes Vonky's was a stinging clump from outside the box. Ingebrigsten also bagged against Leicester in the FA Cup didn't he?
