It was the game where Dalglish scored after about 13 seconds.
Our defence was all over the place that day. Ian Marshall got the curly finger at half time, to be replaced by Adrian Heath. Harper dropped back from midfield to LB. Van Den Hauwe moved to centre half alongside Ratcliffe, and we won the second half, 2-0.
Grobellaar made about 3 freakishly brilliant saves. One from Heath, which was actually world class.
I sticks in the mind as one of Kendalls biggest but rare managerial mistakes, Playing Harper in midfield in place of the injured Reid, and throwing Marshall in at Centre half, instead of the tried and trusted Van den Hauwe.
Kevin Richardson was left out of the entire squad that day, surely a better replacement for Reid, than Harper?
