Went on the Palace coach with Geoff Bennett. Birmingham crowd were in full voice with Keep Right On 'til The End of The Road when silenced by a late Palace equaliser from Dean Gordon.

Match no. 726. Football League Cup. First visit to St Andrews. On business in Birmingham that week so went with some work colleagues. Poured with rain all evening, seats near front behind the goal. Another Brummie drenching! Simon Sturridge scored for City, Andy Gray equalised for Palace who eventually won a second replay 2-1 after another 1-1 draw.
