did, what is now known as, The Championship become the 'First Division' when the Premier League/Premiership was born?Quote:

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 earlierQuote:
