Not seen this since it first aired on look east. A few baffling things there...
Why did we play an international sweeper so far forward, and why did we let cattle graze at PR in the late 80's! No wonder Duncan wanted to bypasss the midfield. |  | | |  |

It was.
He sat in the stand behind us.
There were half and half bobble hats on sale at his debut. ITFC badge one side, hammer and sickle the other. |

Sergei was one of Europe's very best Sweepers, but of course he never got to play there for Ipswich Town. Odd choice of buy by JD. Bye Bye | | | |

Was in Churchmans that day and was excited by the “huge” 15k crowd! Seem to recall Sergei made the front cover of Shoot or Match the following week |
I thought it was nearer 20k but yeah you’re right. Back then 15k was described as a “bumper” crowd. |  | | |

one of my great memories from PR. I still have the Green in from that match.
Once of twice he played as a sweeper and was sensational.
I wonder how we signed him?

Great day. Was there with my dad. All the goals in the second half.
Proper football experience back then.
Top away days, dodgy pitches, expensive phone bills to clubcall.
I bought an adidas replica CCCP shirt from some Eastern European outlet. Scratchy as hell but now worth decent money. Probably went to a jumble sale.
Also had an inexplicable red inflatable banana with a hammer and sickle painted on that accompanied me to the odd game.
The signing of Sergei was a genuinely exciting moment. Unfortunately his fitness issues and our inability to play a sweeper as a sweeper meant it never really lived up to the expectation. | | | |

Was provided with a sponsored Lada.
No stereotypes there. No, sir. |  | | |

What I forgot was this was only 6 months after he had played against Van Basten & Gullit (and Muhren!) in the European championship final. | | | |

I was there for that. 5-1 was it? Something like that.
Duncan often played players in the wrong position. As for bypassing the midfield, his teams did it in August when the pitch was like a bowling green. |
I was there in the North Stand, never seen this replay but could remember exactly how it happened from the other end! |  | | |
