It was my first night game at Maine Road, a cold January night against Middlesborough in the League Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg. I remember seeing the lights from miles away and the steps into the Kippax and being placed on a wall at the side of one the tunnels into the stand by my Dad. My lasting memory was watching a young Peter Barnes take on the whole Middlesborough team literally single handed and scoring one of the 4 goals on the night. Obviously we went on to the Final against Newcastle that season and won 2-1, but my Dad could not get tickets for that game. The team was full of entertainers at that time, but Peter Barnes was like a new breed of winger that at the age of 10 I had never seen.
