when Paul Mason scored our winner in extra time. Blackburn were a great team then and if I remember rightly Richard Wright kept us in the game with a series of great saves. Remember getting home in the early hours of the morning , great night. |  | | |  |

I wasn’t there but I feel it was a very important moment in ITFC’s history as it was the result which started to get the Burley era moving.
I also think it was nice that the majority of the team that we put out that evening was made up of members of the 94/95 squad. It was an affirmation for them that they were good players after the traumas of the previous season and the nervous first half of 95/96. |  | | |

Sure was. And to gauge just what a result it was we was in a McDonald's pre game and Blackburn boy around 9 says to his Dad "I think 10-0 tonight." Obviously it was never going to be that but Blackburn were that good with an incredible squad.
The time when you could tell Burley was starting something major here. Days when we would go toe to toe with big boys in the cups not worrying about a pathetic modern attitude of "resting" players.
Up the 90s football. |  |

I went to both games. I remember it well as I was driving. Parked in the pub over the road from the ground and because our car was at hhe back of their car park we stayed in there after the game. Blackburn fans were fine with the result despite just winning the title the year before. I remember saying "we don't care, we only hate Burnley" I remember thinking how can you hate such a small club. How things have changed. Was that the game shearer scored right on half time. And was dissallowed? I went down for a meat and potato pie when he scored and it was kick off before I realised it didn't count | | | |

Great performance, but just as importantly, did anybody have a Shearer Pie? I think it's the nicest food I've had at a game.
Proper chicken and baked beans in a shortcrust pastry pie. | | | |

Yes. Most of the really memorable games at that time e.g. Liverpool away, were in the FA Cup until managers after Jim Magilton started to use the FA Cup as a nothing game, especially Mick McCarthy. The FA Cup has gone now and we'll never get it back. Back then everyone was up for the third round, and excitement increased if we progressed. There were 5,000 of us at Watford in 2007, which was the last time we got to the fifth round. |  | | |

Phil Ham’s book on ITFC in the 90s has a nice quote from John Wark, who played right-back(!) that evening. He saw Kenny Dalglish before the game (Dalglish had moved upstairs at the start of the season). Dalglish joked, “If you’re playing tonight, then I might play.”
According to Wark, “By the time we had showered, he’d left the ground and I never got the chance to pull him up on it.” | | | |

A handy reminder here to those who write off the quality of our squad as a reason to excuse Paul Lambert's failures. That squad was by no means bad, by by 'eck did it need some organising, coaching and motivating to get it moving again. |  |

A young Paz was at the home game ... still being at primary school at the time the away replay was past my bed time! |  |
