Highbury Moments - 2nd May 1992

Though I had always been a regular on the Clockend, this final league game of the 1991/2 season was a sad one - the last competitive fixture in front of the North Bank. My first memories were from the North Bank - 57,000+ for games against Spurs, Forest, Liverpool and my most vivid North Bank memory from the Villa game in 1981. We beat Villa 2-0 but as Ipswich had lost as well - Villa took the title. We qualified for Europe by virtue of the win and so mass celebrations ensued - well, no actually - all the fans tried to kick hell out of each other on the pitch! The North Bank was replaced by the infamous mural the following season to much derision. The picture is from the last game, a 5-1 drubbing of Southampton with Ian Wright grabbing a hat trick and the golden boot (ahead of Lineker :-) ).
