    Not sure if that was a cup match?

    But yes, we did...remember Merson smacking in a great 25yarder to get us back in the match at Highbury in 93 i think (La??)

    I was at University in Sheffield Went to the replay (chauffeured by one Amy Lawrence). Merse did indeed score a great goal in the first game. Wrighty got the winner in the replay past Lukic (the lob –*actually a chip - IUFG may be thinking of was another game much later, with Dennis and Merse also scoring). Travelling back to Sheffield was fun as we had to go a different way to most of the other Arsenal fans. The long string of replays was a couple of years earlier

    Merson was 25th Jan 93 then.... I missed the game as a) was my birthday b) was house hunting that evening

    you're right, of course, the goal I was thinking of was this won

    That finish was a thing of beauty, i. Got the luck of the bounce for it to run into his path (sure that was how Dennis meant it to work out) but Johnnie had no chance with the finish

    it was. the bounce off his face, the little half twist all followed up by an exquiste finish.

    we forget how lucky we were to have him.
