I had been following Chesterfield for 2 years when this draw came out of the bag. The 1992 season was I real highlight for me, it was pre-premiership and Sky destroying the game for fans, I bought my first season ticket, I went to every cup game home & away, including Lincoln at home with about 1000 other fans in the Layland Daf; those were the days!
So building up to this game was we beat York in the previous round and I remember getting back from the Away leg just in time for the draw. On the day of the game the coaches left at about 5pm and so I had to get out of school and I remember going up to the admin building to sign out for my “dentist appointment” and there were about 5 other kids doing the same thing. I was only 15 at the time but I don’t remembering asking my parents if this was OK, it was understood that I was going to this game.
The trip to the match was uneventfully until we got a to Anfield and some kids were hurling rocks at our buses. I was by myself as all my friends who went to the game were Liverpool fans, as is life.
The game was without question one of the best I have ever been too. To go 3-0 up against the FA cup holders and what is more at Anfield.
